Australian College of Veterinary Nursing

ACVN is THE place to get your career in Vet Nursing going! The support I receive from them are outstanding. They have empathy towards students that struggle to keep ahead and they have supported me throughout, keeping me motivated to finish up my studies. The ACVN team is GREAT!

I am so lucky to be a graduate from ACVN. Each educator and administrator has been incredibly supportive throughout my 4 year journey of becoming a Cert IV Veterinary Nurse. Despite changing jobs, lockdown and extensions, I made it to graduation with the support of every single educator and student. ACVN is the best veterinary community I could ever have joined to start off my career, and I would not hesitate to further my education with them!

I am so happy and glad I completed my Cert 3 with ACVN. All the tutors were very helpful throughout and all the course material was excellent. I am currently studying my Cert IV face to face with a different provider and I can see a big difference compared with my fellow classmates who did their Cert 3 with this provider. The ACVN Cert 3 is much more comprehensive and especially if you plan to be a Veterinary Nurse and continue with Cert 4, I highly recommend studying with ACVN!

As a mother of four young children, I live on a farm and run my own business. Studying the Certificate 111 in Animal Care with ACVN has enabled me to continue to do this, as the study can be completed in my own time, at any hour of the day or night.

While I have at times found the course to be more challenging than my uni degree, help has always been at hand through email contact with the staff, and as they say, help is only a phone call away. I have always found the staff to be extremely friendly and polite, and I could not have completed my last assessment without phone assistance from a nurse educator to help put me on the right track. For this I am very thankful.

Such helpful, kind and understanding staff who provide their students with very thorough content for learning:)

I am absolutely loving my studies through ACVN! The educators are so supportive and kind.
It’s so in-depth for knowledge and really emphasises nurse skills within clinics.
I am so impressed with the level of skills they expect and feel I’m going to be the best version of myself from studying through ACVN.
It’s amazing that it’s all online too, since working full time in a clinic leaves little room for campus study. It suits me and my lifestyle perfectly.
You get what you put in which I think reflects more of an adult learning environment and more Uni feel learning compared to other tafes where everyone will travel along at a similar rate. You can go further into your learning if you wish and they have many options for smaller short courses that I plan to do post study.

I’m a 35 year old mother of a 2 year old, who used to be a full time piano teacher for 15+ years. After my daughter was born, I decided it’s to make a big career change. ACVN was the best decision I ever made. I LOVE studying through them.

Every single vet nurse I’ve met has said ACVN has a reputation for being a very challenging institution. Thanks to their courses, I have had the best of the best training, which lead to a trainee position at my local clinic very quickly. The staff are so supportive and friendly, I love every subject on offer and each assessment has challenged my skills and knowledge, which I utilise every day in my job.

I cannot thank the nurse educators enough for helping me through the next chapter of my life. So much love to you! X

I have learnt so much through Acvn over two certificates, the educators are always helpful and the content is always gold standard. As long as you have good time management to stick to your goals you will do really well with Acvn learning. Their practical skills workshops in the past have been extremely helpful to me with my skills acquisition and suggest anyone looking to up skill to try them out. Their wellbeing coach Bree is lovely and the fact they have one shows a commitment to putting veterinary mental health first. I highly recommend Acvn to anyone looking to study or further their veterinary nursing education.

Brilliant Veterinary Nursing college! Great educators and staff. Well organized and easy to follow. Would highly recommend to future students

Not enough space to say how much of a thank you to the entire staff getting me through my cert IV. YOU WERE AMAZING!
and also for tolerating my corgi spams

I had a lovely experience with ACVN, I completed my Certificate 3 Animal Studies with them this year, and completed within the time frame (1year), I had a lot of support from all the Educators and Administration, they are all LOVELY!
I honestly recommend studying with them! They have great fees and also instalment plans, which helped me so much!
Furthermore, their programs and learning guide are great, easy to understand and they have heaps of pictures which makes it some much more interesting. I look forward to commencing my Cert 5 with them and also to start my Carrer on Vet Nursing.
