The College of Animal Welfare in South Gyle is pleased to announce that a new City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma for Veterinary Care Assistants full-time course starting this September is now open for applications.
This qualification, which was developed by The College of Animal Welfare with City & Guilds nearly ten years ago, has been offered by the College thus far only as a distance learning programme to those working in a veterinary practice. Now, for the first time, the qualification will be available from the College as a full-time course to those looking for a future career in veterinary practice.
Melanie Young, Academic Manager at The College of Animal Welfare, said “We are delighted to be able to provide people in Scotland with the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification in veterinary care.” She continued “This will open up new opportunities to people wanting to work in a veterinary practice with strong possibilities of future employment or even an opportunity for further training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse”.
The one year programme consists of both classroom tuition and real practical experience in a veterinary practice.
