"I have just completed my Certificate II in Animal Care - Vet Nurse Pathway course with AVT and I have LOVED every minute of it! Thank you Maren for being so helpful and supportive during my studies, as well as all the other lecturers and support staff I've had the pleasure of meeting so far. I'm so glad I chose to start my journey in the animal care industry with AVT, and highly recommend anyone else looking into a career with animals to do the same, you won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to continuing my studies with AVT through the Certificate III in Animal Care - RSPCA Program"

"I completed my Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training in 2023, and I LOVED the program. I was already working as a dog trainer (IMDT qualified) but wanted to continue building on my skills. I loved the mixed delivery of the course (online and in person), the tutor support, and the content itself. Definitely one to look at if you're planning to work in the animal care industry!"

"Certificate III in Animal Care Services - RSPCA: Knowledgeable & approachable trainers who work with you to help you succeed. Amazing, hands-on work experience with the dedicated RSPCA team. Cannot recommend highly enough"
