City and guilds focus is to complete VN1 -8 but if progressing well can open 2nd year unit VN 9 - 11 and some SAVN skills too

I am in my second year degree course and we were told to focus to VN1-7 for the first year.

:) Hope this helps!

I'm just in my first year of the Central Qual course and we have covered anatomy, infection control, communication and operational requirements of a practice and care of hospitalised animals. good luck

Sorry, meant to say that we started with the tasks such as cleaning and reception work, as that was what my SVN was used to doing. This meant that we weren't trying to get the little tasks rushed at the end. I had a mini a&p chart for landmarks for cat,dog and exotics so that the SVN was identifying landmarks at every opportunity.

Find out if the college is City and Guilds or Central Qualifications. Our college is C&G and do VN1-VN8 in the first year and the rest in the second year. The most recent syllabus for C&G is on their website. I have a copy of the NPL tasks if you would like them. I think CQ log is slightly different.
