Enrolment Requirements For Student VNs

From 1 August 2006 the entry requirements for student veterinary nurses will change. Candidates applying for enrolment after this date must have five GCSE passes including maths GCSE at grade C or higher (together with one other science, plus English Language and two other subjects). Those who have a science but not mathematics will be required to pass the Basis Skills Test in 'application of number' at Level 2. Candidates with the 2006 Animal Nursing Assistant (ANA) certificate (having passed their portfolio and examination) will be accepted until 15 December 2006, regardless of whether they have attained a maths GCSE. Students who have successfully completed their portfolio, and have sat their ANA examination but are not sure of their pass status as of 15 December, will be accepted provisionally, although their places will not be confirmed until they have been notified of their exam results.
