Who is it for?
The RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) is a flexible, modular approach to achieving veterinary postgraduate qualification. Before you start working towards the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP), or towards any individual modules, you must enrol for the CertAVP with the RCVS. This is so that the RCVS can confirm your eligibility and log your credits as they accrue towards your qualification. Candidates must hold a recognised veterinary degree, have at least one year’s experience as a practising vet and be enrolled for a CertAVP with the Royal College of Surgeons. Those who graduated after 2007 must have completed their PDP or VetGDP. Each module offers 100 hours CPD, including time for assessment. Please note that the CertAVP modules at the University of Nottingham are designed for those working in clinical practice. We therefore recommend that you look at both module details and assessment requirements prior to enrolling to ensure that you have sufficient case load to complete the module.
