https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/28279/central-college-of-animal-studies--any-experience-with-them Hi, I was wondering if any of you trained with the Central College of Animal Studies (CCOAS) or know any one that did? Is it a college you would recommend for their diploma in Veterinary Nursing? They run out of a few practices in East Anglia.en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/159046?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 28 Mar 2015 22:41:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:371cb2aa-58f2-43b2-a722-66250460fa6aCaroline Hayward<p>Hi, thank you so much for replying again. I&#39;m glad you recommend it, it&#39;s a relief to hear from someone whos been there. Okay, that sounds reasonable, I think most of the colleges run their courses with just a day at college. So as long as they are helpful and friendly. All the resources sound great too. I haven&#39;t got a practice placement no, I emailed their new vets in Ipswich enquiring about the placements there. So I shall see if anything comes of that. I&#39;m based near Manningtree. So the new centre and practice in Ipswich would be ideal. Thanks again for your reply.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/159039?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 28 Mar 2015 08:44:50 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f6ff519a-cabe-4165-9241-2268c945e427Tayler Smith<p>Yeah i would recommend it, the tutors are all really nice and very helpful. I goto their Stowemarket branch, which is a little class room above the vets there. One thing i will say is because you only have one lesson a week you have a lot of information crammed into one day. The first few units werent too hard but i&#39;ve just started anatomy and i am finding it quite difficult to remember it all as i&#39;m working full time and they are cramming so much into a few hours. However they do provide you with lots of resources like books and revision sessions etc.</p> <p>You have to find your own practice to work at before they will take you on which can be quite difficult. Have you got a training practice yet? Where abouts are you based?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/159030?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:41:21 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:489988aa-a7cd-4453-89f4-9c551d3a68e6Caroline Hayward<p>Hi, thank you for responding. I was just wondering if you would recommend them? Are the tutors good? Are the staff generally helpful? Things like that really. What centre do you go to? Thanks :)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/159029?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:45:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:042663a4-210c-4d08-aac4-d9f8a1767ad5Tayler Smith<p>I am currently studying through them, what do you want to know?
