Anyone completing the BVRA Foundation Course will receive a joint BVRA/iPET Network Certificate of Achievement.
BVRA is also working on creating an Ofqual Regulated qualification in the sector, which will be available in the autumn 2023.
BVRA CEO, Kay Watson-Bray (pictured) said: “We have been listening to our members and their employers and identified the quality assurance that comes with regulation is a really important aspect of accredited CPD.
"This initiative will give veterinary receptionists the opportunity to gain an official qualification with transferable credits that they can use as a stepping stone to higher education and will provide a defined career path.”
The BVRA has also relaunched what was the Registered Veterinary Receptionist (RVR) as the new BVRA Associate Veterinary Receptionist (AVR).
Being an AVR gives BVRA members further membership benefits, training and status.
Kay added: “It’s an exciting time for veterinary receptionists who have previously had limited career path opportunities. BVRA is committed to provide the most up to date, relevant CPD created by industry experts.”
