A new education provider has launched in Australia, offering online training for veterinary nurses in the UK.

Veteducation.com.au offers 4-6 week short courses for veterinary nurses who have completed their basic nursing qualification - but don't want to stop learning.

The company says that the response to its 2 pilot courses has been outstanding, with more than 70% of our students already enrolling in another course.

The courses: "Emergency Medicine for Veterinary Nurses" and "Critical Care for Veterinary Nurses" combined carefully prepared notes, 24-hour access to additional resources, message boards, and veterinary tutor assistance, plus the bonus of weekly live interactive tutorials, to help students through their course material.

All courses are completed from the comfort of your own home - no travel expenses, no need for locums, and no additional costs.

Veteducation.com.au has over 12 courses coming up over the next 2-3 years, beginning with "Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses" in February 2008.

You can join a mailing list at www.veteducation.com.au to keep updated on course dates.
