It is the equivalent of the science GCSE + two others, but you would still need your English and Maths GCSE (or equivalent) to support it. It will give you an advantage in the VN course as you will have done some husbandry, A&amp;P, nursing and basic anaesthesia.....every little helps. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
