Course overview
Harper Adams University offers a range of options for Registered Veterinary Nurses to advance their skills and qualifications.
The RCVS Post-Registration Framework allows registered veterinary nurses to study for the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (RCVS Cert AVN). Applicants can choose from several focused and subject-specific RCVS accredited courses, allowing nurses to develop and advance their skills in their area of interest.

PgC students have the option to then complete further study and/or research to achieve a Postgraduate Diploma or a Masters degree.
