Certificate
Unique to The Animal Academy, you will attend lectures and be guided through your studies. If do not like learning on your own then this course is for you. You get to interact with others in a classroom setting and get to share your knowledge and learnings throughout the course via face to face and remote classes. You will be required to attend these classes one day per week and you will be required to carry out two full days work placement, where you will be able to work with both small and large animals under clearly defined boundaries and supervision.
Work placements* will offer you tailored mentoring at select veterinary practices and immersion from day one of your training, will give you the skills to confidently progress to the veterinary nursing (equine elective) course 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.
The Animal Academy requires you to be able to provide evidence that you can handle horses and work safely with them in order to be considered for a placement and be over 16 years of age (Internationals must be over 18).
