Overview

The veterinary care field is an essential part of Britain's growing healthcare sector, with the pet care industry now worth £6.2 billion and showing consistent growth each year. This Veterinary Assistant and Veterinary Nursing Diploma teaches you the core aspects of animal healthcare, from basic cell structure to complex body systems. As pet ownership in the UK reaches new heights, with 59% of households having pets, the need for trained veterinary staff keeps rising. The course starts with the basics of veterinary medicine and builds your knowledge through important topics like animal classification, tissue types, and healing processes.

You'll learn about major body systems including cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive, while also studying how nutrients and metabolism affect animal health. The current 12% shortage of veterinary nurses in the UK means good prospects for those entering the field. Whether you're interested in working with small animals in local clinics or larger creatures in animal hospitals, this course gives you the knowledge base you need. Students particularly value learning about disease patterns, system functions, and how different parts of animal bodies work together. This understanding forms the foundation of a meaningful career helping animals stay healthy.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
