To mark Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 2026, The College of Animal Welfare (CAW) is offering veterinary practices the opportunity to become a Training Practice (TP) – completely free of charge!
Practices that sign up to become a TP between 1-31 May 2026 will receive access to the college’s complete TP service for one year at no cost – a package that would typically cost £715.
The package includes TP setup and approval support, clinical supervisor training, a dedicated point of contact at the college, access to the college’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), eLibrary and clinical supervisor forum, discounted CPD options and student recruitment support where applicable.
A Training Practice (TP) is a veterinary practice that is approved to support student veterinary nurses through the practical elements of their qualification. Becoming a TP enables practices to play a direct role in shaping the next generation of nurses, while also helping them build skilled, loyal teams and support future recruitment needs.
Frank Taylor, Vice Principal Veterinary Studies at The College of Animal Welfare,said: “If your practice has been thinking about training veterinary nurses, now is the perfect time to get started and help shape the future of the profession. With this initiative, we want to remove barriers for practices to become a Training Practice and make it easier than ever to take that first step.”
The offer is open to veterinary practices that are not currently registered as a Training Practice but would like to begin the process. Practices wishing to take advantage of the promotion must contact the college to request an application form and submit their completed application by 31 May 2026.

The college is hosting a live webinar and Q&A session on Wednesday 13 May 2026 (1pm-2pm) to help practices understand the benefits of training veterinary nurses and what is involved in the TP approval process. Registration is free and practices can sign up online.
