Course Aim
​
The aim of the course is to help kids & teenagers, decide if Veterinary Studies is a career they wish to pursue. The course will give them "a taste" of veterinary science studies.
​
Study topics start with learning how to use basic vet equipment whilst performing a physical exam on their own pet. With their own stethoscope, thermometer & their brains, kids will first learn how to record normal clinical parameters. Next they will learn how to record abnormal clinical parameters.
From there we move onto a variety of different topics - learn about different body systems, animal handling, working in a vet office, nursing duties, wound management, vet dentistry - the topics are endless!
​
FEEDBACK
Ideal for all kids - whether they are at school or Home School. Kids study at home, in their own time & at their own pace. They can study as often as they like - there is no time frame. KVC packages are ideal to take with you on holidays!
​
The course is written & peer-reviewed by Senior Veterinary Surgeons. To help consolidate learning, tasks & multiple-choice tests are included at the end of every topic. Kids are asked to send in their assignments for feedback on their topic understanding, the course is not graded. ( Send copies only - keep the original work).
This course is informal distance education - as such it does not lead to formal certification of any type. Certificates of Completion on each topic will be sent with satisfactory completion of assignments.
