I was wondering if there were any other international students on here? I was offered a position as an SVN at my practice providing that I will be considered a home student by the college.

Even if you only recieved a D- it&amp;#39;s still passing compared with the levels here at grade C. If you have taken any extra courses since graduating, like college or university these would be consitered A-Levels. So if you recieved a A, C, D, A, C, you would have the GCSEs needed. I had to work all this out when I started looking into becoming a SVN. But I found this out by contacting the RCVS. You will need to send them your transcripts if you can. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: International Students?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/8799?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:26:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:26c2bfde-1d17-415a-a680-58279c95e2d1</guid><dc:creator>BumbledBee</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: International Students?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/8793?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:42:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:763b16ff-962a-48e8-9f47-de6eed5b510c</guid><dc:creator>Nick Shackleton </dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;hey there&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards to your visa you are prob best of contacting the Home Office about becoming a British Citizen / applying for British Passport&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/"&gt;http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What level are your qualifications to?? You would prob be best contacting then Royal College of Veterinary surgeons to ensure that your qualifications are at the right level. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rcvs.org.uk"&gt;www.rcvs.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could either study the ANA course for a year, this would give you underpinning knowledge prior to studying the NVQ Vet Nurse course / BSc Veterinary nursing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively you could study GCSE maths at night school??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hope this of some help to you. Good luck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
