The Pet First Aid course follows a blended delivery model. Participants must first complete a one-hour online theory module before attending a hands-on practical workshop.

To ensure interaction quality and safety, the Beekeeping Practical is limited to 6 people per session. The Junior Zoo Keeper program with Chris Humfrey accepts a maximum of 15 students per day.

For biosecurity reasons, participants are prohibited from bringing their own beekeeping gear; all equipment is supplied on-site.

Workshops like the 'Good Dog Masterclass' focus on mental enrichment rather than physical exercise to mitigate problems such as excessive barking, digging, and separation anxiety. Specialized seminars, such as 'The Bark Stops Here' led by a qualified Animal Behaviour Consultant (BSc Animal Behaviour), provide targeted interventions to identify the specific motivation behind a dog's barking.
