Certificate Programs

What makes our training and educational programs unique?
In a word, professionalism.

  • Professional Instructors: We use only proven college and university faculty to teach our courses. All instructors hold doctoral degrees in their disciplines along with extensive experience in both teaching and their fields of expertise. No graduate students or amateur instructors here!

  • Professional Platforms: ABI uses the eCollege professional platform to provide a truly professional virtual classroom, with interactive study guides, discussion sections, and exams. The very same software platform used by traditional colleges and universities throughout the United States.

  • Professional Support: In addition to our outstanding faculty, ABI offers 24 hour technical support through our partnership with Edtek Corporation. Our support extends to career counseling and personalized assistance with resume writing, cover letters, and all phases of career development.

Other institutions may call themselves a "university" or "college" but without the credentials or staff that one would expect with this self-designation. Similarly, many online programs consist of little more than text placed online. The Animal Behavior Institute prides itself on providing a true online learning environment where you can interact regularly with both the faculty and your student colleagues.

So whether you're looking to change careers or advance within your field, ABI has the training, support and programs you need to succeed.
