Veterinary nurses can qualify through a variety of routes.
In this section, you can find out more about our new Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing, plus the old NVQs (and related theory certificates), which are now being phased out. Candidate Handbooks are downloadable here.
You can also read about university degree options, and, if you’re a qualified veterinary nurse, why not think about the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing?
