I know I've made about 44958 threads about college and stuff but I know what I wanna do know, well at least try!
I wanna retake my GCSEs to get better grades so I can actually do something with my life, 'cus tbh I aint gonna get far on;
English - C
Maths - D
Science - FF
I don't know how or where to do it though or if it's even possible? Since I was a little kid I've always wanted to be a vet but it's every little girls dream init I always pushed it aside as I got older 'cus I don't think I'm clever enough or good enough or whatever, but I really wanna try :[
I need this to get into veterinary nursing but I really have no idea were to look, I've been looking all night and I'm so clueless! I'm so shit with things like this if it isn't handed on a plate then I just give up!

Work-based training
To begin work-based training as a veterinary nurse you must be at least 17 years of age and be employed at a veterinary practice which is approved by RCVS – visit the RCVS website for details of approved practices.
You would need:
* five GCSEs at grade C or above including English, maths and two science subjects or equivalent qualifications or
* the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) Animal Nursing Assistant qualification – see the BVNA website for details.
In some areas you can complete the City & Guilds/NPTC National Certificate for Veterinary Care Assistants as an alternative to the BVNA Animal Nursing Assistant qualification.
It could be an advantage when looking for work as a trainee or assistant if you have relevant experience – for example, with a local vet, or in other kinds of work with animals, such as local kennels or RSPCA centres.
During your training you would work under the supervision of qualified staff. You would also attend college on day-release or block-release and do private study. Your training would take at least two years, with exams at the end of each year. You would then receive:
* NVQ levels 2 and 3 in Veterinary Nursing and
* RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Nursing Theory.
You may be able to get into this job through an Apprenticeship scheme. The range of Apprenticeships available in your area will depend on the local jobs market and the types of skills employers need from their workers. To find out more about Apprenticeships, visit Learning and Skills Council - Apprenticeships.
Higher Education
As an alternative you can do a RCVS-approved veterinary nursing degree or BTEC HND course, which includes work experience placements, and combines the RCVS-approved training with the academic qualification. This way of qualifying will take longer than work-based training, but could give you more career opportunities, such as research or teaching.
To get onto a higher education course you would usually need at least two A levels or equivalent qualifications, preferably in chemistry and biology, and five GCSEs (A-C) including English language and maths and two sciences. You should check with individual colleges and universities for their exact requirements – see the RCVS website for a list. |
