BSAVA Certificates Break Another Record And Will Be Extended With A Second Intake Of 30 Students

In its first year the BSAVA Certificates in Medicine and Surgery famously sold out in 20 minutes – in October this year both courses were over-subscribed within less than five minutes. Whilst this is testament to the success and demand for BSAVA CPD, the Association was determined to find a way to avoid disappointing so many aspiring students – and after emergency talks over the weekend has decided to run a second intake of 30 students for each of the two programmes from January. Dr Frances Barr, BSAVA’s Academic Director, says. “Whilst we had only envisioned taking 30 new students onto each course this year, it quickly became clear that there is such a great appetite for this kind of accredited CPD in the profession right now. What a shame it would have been not to find a way to allow those ambitions to be fulfilled. So we are effectively going to run each programme twice in one year.” Quality control and sufficient student support is being met thanks to an overwhelming response from our teaching faculty and mentors. “BSAVA owes thanks to all those who lecture and work alongside our Certificate students”, says Dr Barr, “without them we would not have been able to respond so quickly to this unprecedented demand”. The second programme will take place at two sites; BSAVA HQ in Gloucester, and the College of Animal Welfare in Huntingdon. Anyone who has not been able to take a place in the 2013 cohort will be offered priority registration for the 2014 in-take.
