Our Distance Learning Programme in Medical Nursing has been developed to enable all veterinary nurses/technicians access to our world-class teaching materials.
By studying part-time, at your own pace, this programme allows you to effectively manage your work-life balance while taking essential knowledge back to practice immediately.
All our Nurse/Vet Tech modular programmes have a dedicated programme coordinator, who will support you every step of the way. You’ll also have support and guidance from module tutors who are specialists in their module subjects across 8 varied and interactive modules delivered over 8 months.
The course comprises 8 modules in total with a module being delivered every month. ?The module content is divided into?four?weeks of teaching with the aim that the learning objectives are covered in the first?three?weeks and delivered via?nine?online lessons, each of which is about 40-60 minutes long. The module is concluded with either two interactive reflective sessions ?(where appropriate) or delegates writing MCQs as part of a reflective study within week four.
Delegates will also be provided additional study skills sessions aiding the delegate to develop their reflective skills. This will help them in their clinical assessments and revision of their learning, which can be used within their future career.
Once you join you will be part of an international programme with participants from all over the world.
