Our Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing is offered on-campus at our Ascot training centre. You can choose to study part-time or full-time.
Studying full-time
Our full-time course is one year in duration and commences each year in January with a compulsory induction and course commencement day held in December. Each academic term runs for approximately 8–10 weeks with a 2–3 week break between terms. Classes run from 9am – 5pm with a morning, lunch and afternoon break. For the term schedule, including breaks, visit our calendar.
You will attend on-campus classes for two days a week and you will attend your veterinary work placement for two days a week.
