Certificate
Leaders in the veterinary industry will guide you through your qualification; small class interactions and a practical, hands on approach will set you up with the skills needed to succeed within the industry. Whilst this course is not solely equine focussed, you will continue to build your animal handling skills, gain a sound knowledge of caring for a range of animals (both small and large) and carry out routine work activities. However you will undertake equine focussed elective units including: maintaining and monitoring health, hoof care, nutrition and nursing foals.
Work placements* will continue to offer you tailored mentoring by your assessors at select veterinary practices and immersion from day one of your training, will give you the skills to confidently work as a veterinary nurse after completion.
*Placements are at set practices, in most instances travel to the facility will be required (at your own expense). We will consider those who have their own placement - Contact us to discuss further.
