Eleven colleges sign up

Central Qualifications has released details of the colleges offering CQ Veterinary Nursing qualifications.
 
Following a surge in popularity amongst educational centres and recognition in the veterinary profession, Central Qualifications (CQ) is delighted to announce that eleven colleges so far have adopted their Veterinary Nursing qualifications.
 
CQ is an Ofqual approved awarding body, dedicated to the veterinary profession and providing high standards of vocational learning.
 
Staff training and development is pivotal to the success of modern veterinary practices and CQ engages with colleges, training providers and students to develop and provide a wide range of Veterinary Nursing qualifications.
 
From colleges such as Bicton College and Bridgwater College in the South West to East Durham College and Northumbria College in the North East, CQ has recorded a rapid growth.

Further centres offering the qualifications include Abbeydale Vetlink, Plumpton College, Chicester College, Reaseheath College, Oaklands College, Halesowen College and South Staffordshire College.
 
CQ's flexible learning options are designed so that both centres and learners know there is a qualification to suit every need. This fresh approach to learning has subsequently resulted in an influx of student, employee and centre enquiries.
 
Everyone at CQ is committed to delivering a high quality and customer focussed service. All qualifications are created and developed by CQ to ensure that learners develop the skills, knowledge and practical competencies required to advance their careers. Similarly, CQ provides continuing support to colleges and centres to promote student recruitment, and to maintain high standards of quality assurance and teaching.
