An AVT micro-credential is a short online course that allows you to develop specialised skills that are in high demand by animal care and veterinary employers and organisations. We have created our micro-credentials to be short, manageable, and affordable so you can easily fit them into your schedule and budget.
Key features of an AVT micro-credential include:
- Targeted training for in-demand skills
Each micro-credential develops competency in a clearly defined area that is relevant to current veterinary and animal care workplaces. - Short, intensive and achievable
Delivered as bite-sized learning experiences, making them suitable for busy vet nurses and animal care professionals who need flexible, focused study. - Advanced or emerging topics not included in nationally recognised training
Some specialised areas of practice fall outside the national training package. Micro-credentials allow you to learn content that is not part of a full qualification but is increasingly important in modern practice. - Developed to reflect industry and regulatory expectations
Our micro-credentials reflect the skills expected in contemporary veterinary settings, including changes introduced by authorities such as the Veterinary Practice Board of WA, “Advanced Veterinary Nursing – Restricted”. - Used for ongoing professional development
Many professionals complete micro-credentials as part of their continuing education to maintain and enhance specific skills throughout their career, as well as gain AVNAT CPD points.
Whilst micro-credentials are not nationally recognised units of study, they do cover important skills and knowledge gaps not covered in the formal veterinary nursing qualification.
