does anyone know what qualifications you need to be a veterinary nurse?

Answer 1

Anyone wishing to enter training to become a Veterinary Nurse should have 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, or Scottish Standard Grades 1-3, or Scottish Higher Grades A-E. Whatever form of school qualification you have must include English Language and two passes in a physical or biological science (such as Physics, Chemistry or Biology) or mathematics. However, passes in some examinations of a comparable or higher standard may be accepted in place of the usual requirements.

Answer 2

There are two ways in which you can qualify as a veterinary nurse:

* vocational training
* a degree or BTEC HND.

Vocational training
Most veterinary nurses train whilst working in Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) approved Training Practices (ATPs). To begin training you should:

* be aged at least 17
* have five GCSEs (A-C)/S grades (1-3) including English and maths, and two science subjects.

You may be accepted with other comparable qualifications. If you are not sure if your qualifications will be suitable please check with RCVS – see Further Information below for contact details.

Answer 3

You need to become what's called a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT). Make sure the program you choose is accredited. You can do it through either a community college (2 year Associates degree) or someplace like the Bel-Rea Institute which is a private program.

Answer 4

Don't take an online program, go to a school specifically for that purpose. Call the ASPCA and/or SPCA in your city and ask them if they can recommend a vet school in your city.
