Yes, if you are currently enrolled in and on track to complete your Animal Care related studies with AVT, you may submit an application for the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.

You will need to successfully complete your Certificate II or III before you can commence the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing course. For on-campus or blended learning students, completion must occur prior to the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing course commencement date which is typically the same day as your Orientation Day.

If you are studying at another institution (including TAFE)?
