How to Apply - CertAVN
Application
Applications are now open for 2025/6 entry. Please apply using the relevant link in the table below. Applications will close on 3rd February 2025.
When applying for this programme, you are initially applying for the Contemporary Study Skills module which is part of, but also antecedes the full Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing. If successful in getting an offer for this course, you will receive both an offer for the initial module (which runs in April/May of the year you're applying for), and an offer for the relevant Certificate conditional upon you passing the module (exemption will be applied post-application where applicable). One application covers the whole process.

Please note: Applications for this course are assessed on a gathered field basis which means that the majority of applications are considered at the same time and only once the deadline for applications has passed. Whilst we may be in contact with queries about your application sooner, we will only be able to make most decisions in late February and therefore you may not receive a response to your application until then. Please do not be concerned if you do not hear from us before this time.
