Unfortunately I have to agree with the above - we took a trip to Proteus as part of our animal science degree programme. Fortunately the lecturers on my course know I have a solid background in reptile husbandry and management, so I was asked to take a lecture the following week clarifying what Proteus were doing right and what aspects of their husbandry were wrong. It was an interesting evaluation exercise for the rest of the students.

waste of time and money.Sami did it, and actually made them refund her it was so bad.thye aren't officiually recognised, so no qualification or even a certificate. the people marking the assesments knew less than we did. great example, sami lost marks on an assignment on the care of burmese pythons in captivity........for not specifying what cloour wood she'd make the viv out of!waste of time, money and effort. You just have to do a couple of very specific, simple assignments, thats it.
