 I&amp;#39;m doing the level 3 diploma fast track which is 2 years. One day in college and I work 20 hours a week in practice. How many training practice hours do you need to qualify. You need to do at least 15 hours a week to do the course itself</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: How many hours needed to qualify?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/145937?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:56:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:36c7d8fa-6975-4b37-8693-49c2b2cc7337</guid><dc:creator>Heather Bacon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve just started the one day a week diploma, got my student handbook and it says:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall period of training:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;94 weeks (3290 hours) EXCLUDING holidays/sickness. Includes all elements of training, so time spent in college and practical training (in practice).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Practical training:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;60 weeks (2100 hours) of employment or educational placement in an approved training practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was looking into it as I work 31 hours a week in practice (and one day week at college) and was worried that this wasn&amp;#39;t enough!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope it helps!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Time spent in clinical practice 60 weeks minimum. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s what the RCVS forms say anyway :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
