Preparing to submit your application for vet nursing

Applications for our online, part-time or full-time ACM40418 Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing course are open at different times of the year. If you’re thinking about applying, we encourage you to read through the following information.

Why you need to keep reading

This course is highly competitive because our intake for on-campus and funded courses is limited to a small number of participants. Our approach to education is highly personalised, and our trainers and support team will work closely with you to ensure your study journey is a success. For WA-based funded students, we also hand select and organise a local veterinary practice to host your workplace practical training throughout the year. 

You’ll also find the course content is high level and intense. This is just one of the reasons why our graduates are highly sought after by industry. In fact, many of our graduates have paid jobs in the veterinary industry prior to graduation.

With this said, now let’s get you prepared.

To make a successful application and be shortlisted for an interview, here are a few things you are going to need for your online application.

Previous study and experience

We’re also going to ask you about your previous working experience, whether that be an employed position or even volunteer work. If you have any proof of work experience or employment, make sure you have a digital copy on hand to upload, particularly if it is related to working with animals or is able to demonstrate that you have customer service/communication skills.
