What is the structure of the part-time on-campus vet nursing course?

Our Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing is offered on-campus at our Ascot training centre.

Studying part-time

Our part-time course is 18 months long and commences mid-year. There are 6 academic terms, each term runs for approximately 8–10 weeks with a 2–3 week break between terms. Classes run from 8am – 5pm with a morning, lunch and afternoon break. For the term schedule, including breaks, visit our calendar.

You will attend on-campus classes 1 day a week and you will attend your veterinary work placement for one day a week. You will also require approximately 4-6 hours per week for home-based study. During this time you will complete all homework assigned to you for that week, including reading course materials, completing online assessments and assignments, study and revision for any in-class tests and revision of your practical skills workbook and assignments.

You will also be required to attend excursions throughout the year. Your Trainers will assist you in managing your schedule to attend these events.
