Improve Veterinary Education and Central CPD partner to provide industry leading post graduate training to the veterinary profession
We are delighted to announce the merger of Improve International and Central CPD, two of the UK’s foremost providers of veterinary post graduate education.
This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for veterinary education, bringing together Improve International’s global reach and postgraduate qualification programmes with Central CPD’s flexible, practitioner-led Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training and strong digital learning infrastructure.
Across the UK and beyond, the business will be able to offer a range of industry leading CPD courses: from hands-on practical training to flexible online learning, all tailored to meet the evolving needs of veterinary professionals at every stage of their career. The combined faculty of leading veterinary specialists, experienced educators, and dedicated support staff will ensure the highest quality learning experience across all formats.
Improve International and Central CPD share the same commitment to advancing veterinary education and this merger will allow the business to accelerate innovation, ensuring it stays at the cutting edge of clinical education, technology, and professional development methodologies.
“This merger represents a significant step forward in our mission to support veterinary professionals at every stage of their careers,” said Heber Alves, CEO of Improve International, speaking on behalf of the new partnership. “Together, we are better positioned to meet the growing and evolving CPD needs of practices and individuals across the UK.”
Jo Hillard, Managing Director of Central CPD added “I started Central CPD after I developed a passion for CPD whilst completing a GPCert with Improve, so it is great to come full circle over 15 years later and be able to combine the strengths of both businesses to deliver more comprehensive, flexible learning opportunities for veterinary professionals across the UK and beyond.”
