Welcome

Applied Vocational Training is a training company established in 1999, and is operated by a group of qualified Veterinarians and Veterinary Nurses from Perth in Western Australia. Our Vet Nurse Training Centre offers a course for students wishing to qualify and work as a Veterinary Nurse. This course can be studied by attending our Perth centre as a full time student for one year, starting in February and finishing in December.

People already employed in a practice and not able to attend full time, may consider our part time program. Students attend our training centre once or twice a week. Our correspondence program is designed for students living outside of Perth, both in Australia and Overseas, you do not have to be employed in a practice to apply to this program, but a practice must be available to support your training (see details under Vet Nurse Training link). Part time and Correspondence students can start at any time of the year subject to places being available.

Our company is fully registered by both the Western Australian and Australian government and the qualification offered is the nationally accredited Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. We are supported and endorsed by the Australian Veterinary Association.

We have a flexible policy for selection of students and will consider applications from people with a variety of backgrounds, age and educational standards. Applicants to our full time and correspondence programs will often not be working in the industry and may not have had any experience in the Veterinary Profession. Our training programs cater for both those with experience and those wanting to join the veterinary profession as a new career.
