This course is running over ten weeks. Also at this course, the students will read articles, do tests, write, and solve problems related to the articles, in groups as well as individually. Note that some group work is obligatory!

Please note that the courses require quite some time from the participants! Most students use over 4 hours per week for the G2 course, but it varies depending on background knowledge and how used they are to studying.

General Course G1

We have the course in several languages. If you want to read about the course in your preferred language use the links to the left.

General course step 1, or G1 for short, is mainly about cat ownership. It is basically for beginners, but also for more experienced breeders who later want to take the higher courses.

The G1 course has the following content:

Anatomy, an introduction
Behaviour
Basic information about food and nutrition
Indoor cat? Outdoor cat?
How to find the right cat breeder
Pedigree cat or mix breed?
Laws and rules regarding buying cats
Contracts

Breeding?

Note!

The courses require quite some work from the course participants! Most of our course participants spend around 5-8 hours per week on the G1 course, some more, depending on earlier knowledge and how used they are to study. Of course it might also take longer time if you are taking a course which is not in your native language, so you struggle with the language on top of everything else. Please plan ahead when you consider accepting the invitation.
