Certificate Success for BSAVA

New BSAVA Certificate places snapped up in 20 minutes. 

It only took twenty minutes after enrolment opened for the BSAVA Medicine and Surgery certificates for both courses to be filled and a waiting list established.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association launched online enrolment for its inaugural programmes at 9am on Monday 3rd October. Within twenty minutes both courses were filled and a waiting list set up.

While interest in the courses had been flooding in over the recent months, the number of applications still came as a surprise.

Dr Frances Barr, head of the BSAVA Education Team, explained that despite always having confident in the programme, it was uncertain whether the maximum number of 30 delegates on each course would be reached. She commented: "To have a waiting list and pre-registration requests for 2013 is fantastic."

She added: "As veterinary professionals we want to strive for clinical excellence, to have our achievements recognised, and be encouraged and supported on the way there. This is what BSAVA aims to do with the medicine and surgery certificates."
