VN courses available for 2014
Applications welcomed by Central College 

Central College of Animal Studies is now taking applicants for training programmes for aspiring veterinary nurses, commencing January 2014.

Central College works with veterinary practices across the UK to provide opportunities for individuals to train to become qualified veterinary nurses.

These training programmes involve work-based learning within a practice, working alongside experienced veterinary staff, as well as one day per week classroom tuition.

The role of a qualified veterinary nurse is both rewarding and challenging, therefore the college is looking for hardworking and self-motivated students who are able to travel to work at a Central College training practice – in particular, practices in the South East of England.

For further information on what the role involves, or to find out more about the application process, please email Centres Co-Ordinator, Erica Dorling, at enquiries@ccoas.org.uk or call 01359 243405.
