Applied Vocational Training (AVT) was formed in 1999 by a group of Veterinarians and Veterinary Nurses looking to provide quality training for students seeking qualifications as a Veterinary Nurse and gaining employment in the veterinary industry. Over the years we have extended our range of courses and nationally recognised certificates to include qualifications in Animal Studies for students wishing to enter a more diverse range of roles within the animal and petcare industry and for those just starting their career. Our animal studies courses have formerly been offered by Animal Science College, managed and operated by the owners of Applied Vocational Training since commencement. As of January 2017, Applied Vocational Training is now offering the complete education pathway for students wishing to gain qualifications in Animal Studies as well as Veterinary Nursing.
Courses are provided by our team of qualified and experienced Veterinarians, Veterinary Nurses and Animal Scientists. Our lecturers and tutors are active members of either the veterinary profession or are involved in the animal care industry. They also have recognised training qualifications and have significant experience teaching in University and/or TAFE programs.  You can meet our team here Over 500 students are enrolled in our on-campus and supported eLearning programs. Our online program attracts students from all over Australia. Our graduates are employed in a variety of areas including veterinary practice, zoos, quarantine and other animal care facilities. We are located in Technology Park, Bentley, Western Australia near Curtin University and 8km southeast of Perth CBD. Our purpose-built training centre provides on-campus students with a modern learning facility and access to a practical laboratory as well as equipment and products used in the veterinary and animal care industry. Students also enjoy free Wi-Fi services, a student lounge including an outdoor garden area as well being a short walking distance from cafes, eateries and public transport.
