Level 2 Veterinary Care Assistant Course. Study online at your own pace, anywhere in the UK. The course runs over 12 months and you can start at any time.
You study through an online learning platform, supported by a distance learning tutor. You must be working or volunteering in a veterinary practice for at least 10 hours a week throughout the course. That hands-on experience is a core part of the qualification. You'll cover animal care, clinical support, and the knowledge needed to work confidently in a veterinary setting.
You'll finish with a Level 2 Certificate in Veterinary Care Support.
The VetSkill Level 2 Certificate in Veterinary Care Support (VCS) is an online course that can be undertaken alongside employment, or voluntary work, in a veterinary practice. The course is ideal for those looking to gain a formal qualification in veterinary care, whilst training with qualified professionals in a veterinary practice. By choosing to study with The College of Animal Welfare - one of the largest providers of veterinary care training in the UK - you are joining a community of like-minded students and staff, who all share a passion for animal welfare.
In addition to the academic theory you will gain from online study, an emphasis on practical experience (a minimum of 600 hours) in a veterinary practice means that you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to prepare you for a career in the veterinary care profession.
