What Students Are Saying

This course has taught me the basic care of animals and about animal health in general. This course allows people to get hands on experience and lecturers to provide practical care to animals. Thus; others with an interest in animals will gain and have a positive outcome to the course, alike to me.
Abby G
Abby GCertificate III in Animal Studies Graduate
I completed my certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing at AVT and can truly say it was the best experience. All the staff are wonderfully helpful, inspiring and motivating. The course is structured well and I learned so much. I would definitely recommend studying with AVT.
Monique B
Monique BCertificate IV in Veterinary Nursing Graduate
Having had no animal learning before, I find this course brilliant with clear concise notes, knowledgeable lecturers and RSPCA staff, and especially having the day at the RSPCA is extremely beneficial. Hands on learning and getting interaction with animals is a great help in learning handling behaviours.
Alison M
Alison MCertificate III in Animal Studies Graduate
I went looking for a course that would add to my existing qualifications, confirming my existing skills and boosting those that may be lacking. AVT’s Certificate II course certainly did that, covering many areas in more detail than any other training I have done.
