The Veterinary Nursing Apprenticeship is designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge required to carry out your job role and support future progression within the sector. You will be employed and receive at least the minimum apprenticeship wage. You will attend college on a day release basis and should achieve the Level 3 Apprenticeship Framework within the agreed timescale.

This is achieved through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the job training (at college 1 day per week) and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. On completion, you must be able to undertake the full range of duties, appropriate to your job, confidently and competently to the standard set by the industry.

Please note:

• The practice will need to be registered with the RCVS
• Course fees, registration fees and examination fees are met by ESF/WBL funding

These programmes are part financed by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government.

Assessment will be made through examinations, assignments, work-based observations and work-based evidence. There are practical exams after 2 years.
