The KCAI Scheme is a UK-wide membership-based scheme for dog training instructors and canine behaviourists which offers its members the opportunity to gain a nationally-recognised vocational accreditation based on a robust standard set by the Kennel Club.
It is the first and only scheme for dog training instructors and canine behaviourists that has achieved programme accreditation from City & Guilds, a globally-recognised benchmark of quality.
Dog training instructors and canine behaviourists will enhance their reputation by becoming members of the scheme and will have the opportunity to gain recognition for their knowledge, skills and experience by achieving Kennel Club Accredited Instructor status.
All KCAI Scheme members are required to abide by the Kennel Club Code of Practice for Instructors, which sets out the principles governing their professional conduct and training practices. More information can be found below.
A guide taking you through the stages to achieve accreditation can be found here.
