Apprenticeship set to begin at Bicton College
Bicton College, based in Devon, has announced that it will be launching its Central Qualifications (CQ) Level 2 Veterinary Nursing Assistant programme this autumn.
From October 2013, those hoping to progress to a career in veterinary nursing will be able to join Bicton's intermediate apprenticeship, which will complement other veterinary nursing courses at the college.
Upon completion of the CQ Level 2 Veterinary Nursing Assistant programme, students may progress on to the CQ Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing course, which will now run as a two-year, one-term model.
Bicton's comprehensive veterinary nursing courses enable students to gain the relevant knowledge and practical skills to allow them to work both safely and competently in practice.
The courses are delivered by the college's experienced veterinary nursing team, who provide a high-quality, high-standard programme, based within its purpose-built Veterinary Nursing Centre.
The apprenticeship offers an exciting and innovative approach to suit practices that need to train their nursing staff, without high costs and the demands of a Level 3 diploma.

FIVP has shared a survey, inviting those working in independent practice to share their views on the CMA's proposed remedies.
