Hi Jill,

If you don't fancy a Diploma, as you mentioned in your first post, then Vets Now do 1 year ECC courses. I think there is also a 1 year anaesthesia course.

Sadly the great C&G nutrition course seems to have disappeared as it was good.

However, you can look at the rvc post above as you can do individual modules over 14 weeks as CPD. They are pretty good value and you don't have to do the assessments.

Ah this might be interesting for you - http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Postgraduate/Courses/MScVetEducation/Index.cfm Its by online learning and is really good, I did the associate level course last year. I think they do quite a few different options too.

Thanks that info is helpful with regard to short term CPD but i was thinking that i would like to do a longer term course for maybe a few months or a year's duration too. This is a start anyway - cheers

Its nice to have you back! CPD splits into online and attendance options.

For attendance options theres the usual

local college (e.g www.caw.ac.uk) doing evening or 1 day courses

BVNA are doing a roadshow at the moment. Also sign up to their regional people on FB as my local one often advertises evening CP there

onswitch do customer care courses

Hills still do roadshow style CPD

Online you have loads:-

webinar vet

onswitch

Drug companies (Dechra, Bayer, Hills, etc)

You can do the 45 hrs over 3 years for free if you choose well!
