Overview:

The Animal Nursing Assistant program is a stand alone qualification and can be used as a foundation course for progression onto Veterinary Nursing. The program is organised as an academic section (one day a week a LITE) and a worked based training element (minimun of 16 hours veterinary contact). You will produce a portfolio tracking your progress in practice and sit written exams in the theory modules.

Entry Requirements:

No formal qualifications are required. Applicants must be 16 plus, work full or part-time within a veterinary practice and enrol with the British Veterinary Nursing Association prior to starting this program.
