Entry Requirements for Advanced Entry are not listed for this Course.

All students must be qualified registered veterinary nurses (RVN), included on the RCVS Small Animal or Equine Register, holding the Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing, or the FdSc Veterinary Nursing, or the Diploma of Higher Education Clinical Veterinary Nursing, or the BSc (Hons) Veterinary Nursing qualifications (or equivalencies). Prior to commencing their studies, all students must provide confirmation that they have enrolled with the RCVS, indicating where they intend to study the Cert AVN along with the title of the qualification (chosen designation). Upon completion, students will then be eligible to apply to the RCVS to claim their RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing status in their chosen designation; this will be awarded at the discretion of the RCVS. Please note: students who are Equine RVNs can only apply for the Cert AVN (Teaching, Coaching and Mentoring) designation. Students holding the Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing Licence to Practise qualification must additionally have a minimum of twelve months of post-qualification experience and 15 hours CPD, taken from the date of first registration on the RCVS List of RVNs. It is desirable for applicants’ CPD to include some hours dedicated to their chosen Cert AVN designation. During their studies students are required to be employed in, or have agreed access to placement in, a suitable professional/clinical environment, tailored to their area of focussed study for a minimum of 12 weeks per academic year. A letter must be supplied by the practice as part of the application indicating both its status and willingness to support the student during the course regarding access to a suitable caseload. A similar letter as above will be required where students are seconded to another practice as part of the course. Students who work as locum RVNs are advised to ring and speak to a member of the veterinary nursing teaching team to discuss their situation and suitability for the course. Applicants for whom English is a second language must be able to demonstrate proof of International English Language Testing System (IELTS) at level 7.0 or equivalent. The applicant must forward evidence of eligibility to the College prior to acceptance on the course. All offers may be subject to successful entry assessment and/or interview. In addition to the main application form, please complete the ‘Cert AVN Initial RCVS Enrolment Form’ and return this via email to HE@myerscough.ac.uk, and copy in kedgley@myerscough.ac.uk, prior to commencing the course. Please do not pay the fee for this directly to the RCVS; during your initial study days we will check through these forms and you will make the payment to Myerscough College, who will then pay the entire cohorts’ enrolment fee to the RCVS via BACS.
