The course has been designed for RVN’s with an interest in nursing, welfare and conservation of non-domestic animal species.
The course will be offered as a Graduate Certificate and a Postgraduate Certificate, which will allow RVN’s from any academic background to gain the RCVS Cert AVN.
The course lasts one academic year and will be studied mainly online.
Student finance is currently available for students applying to study the 60 credit Graduate Certificate.
Funding is available for a full MSc (180 credits) at postgraduate level, for which the PgC in AVN Exotics, Zoo and Wildlife can make up one third of the study credits, if completing an MSc over 3 years.
More information can be found on the Student Finance website.
AZEVN Chair, Matt Rendle RVN said: “Finally, we have an RCVS recognised qualification that will allow RVN’s from all academic pathways to show the high level of knowledge and understanding they have.
"The modules allow veterinary nurses taking the qualification to have a focus on the species or area that they are personally passionate about, be that axolotls, aardvarks or adders!
"This is a huge leap forward for veterinary nurses in the UK.”
