Hello Sarah

Getting a placement can be a challenge. It depends on how one goes about it. What I have found with my students is that if they approach a practice and are already enrolled on the ABC Awards level 2 certificate or even just the award for animal nursing assistants, they have had a better response. It seems the practice is more ready to consider a placement if a prospective student is showing commitment to studying for the full VN qualification. Makes sense really. Many practices will take someone as a volunteer say one day a week of that's possible. Saturdays are popular!

Anyway, that's what I advise my students who are wanting to the ABC Awards course(s) with us.

Hope that helps

Pat

I am hoping they have a contingency plan in place for people that can't find a placement if they can see how hard i've been trying! I will ask at my interview on the 8th.

You might find that when you get onto a college course the course provider will be working with practices to help provide placements, I would go to them and find out what they have in place for this :)
