I wouldn't recommend Proteus. From my experience with them it is not worth it. I only just got my results today, which I have to do my assignments again as it wasn't good enough for them which I don't know why as it was good work with all the right info. I have been trying to contact them for 8 months ringing every day, no answer to any emails or phones. IMO waste of time and money. I am redoing my coursework but need to find out what is wrong with it before I can ammend it, just really annoyed as I have been working with reptiles for over 10 years and they give me a really bad result and I know my stuff .

Anyways, that is my rant for the day.

and i've had nothing but waiting for proteus

i'd do the compass ones, they look really good.
the proteus one is just a basic one on looking after them. Compass actually looks like a Herpetology course.. not basic looking after my first snake kinda course like the other...

Compass Education and Training

and here's a link

well as long as they mark my assignments that i've sent in to them....

the course was paid for by the princes trust.. and i can't get any money to do a better course until i've finished this one...
