Your Future is Exciting: Electronic Certificates AreHere!
We’re thrilled to share that our awarding organisation, iPET Network, is taking a big leap into the digital age—all qualifications will now be issued with electronic certificates as standard!
At Four Paws Groom School, we’re proud to work with an Awarding Organisation that continuously strives to improve the experience for learners and training providers alike. This new move to digital certification is all about making the process faster, greener, and more secure for everyone involved.
Why Go Digital with Electronic Certificates
For years, paper certificates have been the traditional method of recognising achievement. But let’s face it—times have changed! Learners and employers now need fast, reliable, and easy-to-share proof of qualifications. By going digital, iPET Network is meeting those needs head-on and leading the way in modern, sustainable practice.
What Are the Benefits?
1. Instant Access
No more waiting for your certificate to arrive in the post! As soon as your qualification is approved, your digital certificate will be sent straight to your inbox or accessible via your learner portal—ready to use whenever you need it.
2. Environmentally Friendly
This is a big win for the planet. By cutting out printing and postage, we’re reducing waste and supporting more sustainable practices across the animal care industry.
3. Safe and Verifiable
Digital certificates come with built-in verification features that allow employers and others to check their authenticity easily. It’s a more secure system, helping to prevent misuse and build confidence in your hard-earned qualification.
4. Easy to Store and Share
Lost a paper certificate before? That’s a thing of the past. Digital versions can be stored safely on your devices, backed up online, and shared easily on job applications, LinkedIn, or CPD portfolios.
5. Recognised Worldwide
Whether you’re working in the UK or abroad, digital certificates are easily recognised and accepted. They make international mobility simpler and more efficient.
What This Means for You
If you’re a current or recent learner at Four Paws Groom School, you’ll now receive your iPET Network certificate electronically. If you still prefer a traditional paper copy, don’t worry—they’re still available on request for a small charge. But we encourage everyone to take advantage of the speed and convenience of going digital!
Leading the Way in Animal Education
This shift to electronic certificates reflects iPET Network’s forward-thinking approach and ongoing dedication to innovation in vocational education. We’re proud to be part of this journey, helping learners thrive in a more connected and environmentally conscious world.
