If you are a practising Registered Veterinary Nurse, and want to take your career and personal development to the next level, we have a study pathway to suit you! The RVC’s Graduate Certificate and Postgraduate Certificate courses are part-time, distance-learning, advanced veterinary nursing qualifications awarded by the RVC and University of London. These qualifications provide progression options for Registered Veterinary Nurses qualifying from all existing level qualifications (from Level 3 Diploma through to BSc). Depending on your entry qualifications, you can apply to enrol on either the level 6 Graduate Certificate or level 7 Postgraduate Certificate (see Entry Requirements). If you wish to develop greater professional knowledge and skills with particular focus on clinical patient care and subject area specialism (either Medical Nursing, Emergency & Critical Care or Anaesthesia and Analgesia), then these courses are for you. These qualifications can open doors for you in the job market and help prepare you for employment in more specialist areas of clinical practice. **Why study at the RVC?** These Certificates are managed and taught by our dynamic team of leading veterinary nurses and veterinarians who are recognised by employers both within the UK and internationally. The Course Director has over 12 years of experience running and delivering online post registration qualifications for veterinary nurses and is delighted to be able to offer RVNs this new and accessible, affordable and flexible study option.

Since this time, the RVC’s Centre for Veterinary Nursing has been providing excellence in VN education, and specialist and advanced online VN courses. This means we have the expertise and experience to deliver a programme, which combines a course of high academic standard with an exciting and effective delivery method. Whether you work in a first-opinion practice, a charity clinic or a large specialist referral practice, you will share an ambition to excel in the veterinary field, a desire to improve animal health and welfare and the skills to become leaders in the future development of the veterinary nursing profession.
