Animal Care (Non-Agricultural)

Assessment

The course is taught by qualified veterinary nurses who use a combination of in-college theory sessions that provide the depth of knowledge needed to be successful on your chosen career path, along with extensive practical training within your Veterinary Training Practice placement. Maths and English are also built into this programme for students who have not achieved Grade 4 prior to enrolment, this helps enable future progression in the veterinary sector. You will be assessed by a variety of methods including observation of your practical skills at your workplace, written and oral questioning to establish knowledge and understanding and Case studies to prove competence in a range of areas. Assessments are graded pass only, therefore, completion of your portfolio will gain a pass grade. You will need to have a 2 day a week work placement within a veterinary practice and you are responsible for securing your own work placement.
