We have just received confirmation that free funded places on our online, Level 2 Diploma for Veterinary Care Assistants Course (VCA), will be available to eligible students until the end of July 2012.
We have had a great response to from practices over the past few months, with the number of students taking advantage of the offer way above what we anticipated.
Veterinary practices do not have to be an RCVS Training Practice or involved in veterinary nurse training to train their veterinary care staff using this nationally recognised qualification.
Funding is available for students, aged 19 or over, who are employed in a veterinary practice* in England and will cover both the course fee (£825) and the awarding body fees (£174) saving employers almost a thousand pounds!
The course is taught completely online so no College attendance is required. Students can start at any time and should aim to complete the award within 12 months.
The VCA programme can also, in combination with GCSEs at Grade C or above in English Language and Maths (or equivalent), allow progression onto the Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing programme.
Further details on the VCA programme can be found here. To enrol online please click here or call us on 0844 372 9410.
* The employer must have less than 250 employees
