FAQ'S

Is the Australian Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing recognised worldwide?

ACM40418 Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing is a nationally accredited and recognised qualification throughout Australia. However, to our knowledge, there are currently no formal arrangements in place for this qualification to be recognised outside of Australia.

We do know some countries do not have formal qualifications for Veterinary Nursing and the Australian qualification is highly regarded across and often results in employment in these countries. In addition, some countries may consider part or all of ACM40418 Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing as eligible to apply for recognition for prior learning or equivalency to their own qualification. For example, this is the case in the United Kingdom (UK).

Graduates of the Australian ACM40418 Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing who are considering applying for veterinary nursing positions overseas will need to investigate potential pathways for recognition by contacting the relevant registering bodies in the country concerned. AVT is unable to advise on the particular requirements for qualifications in countries other than Australia.
