Victoria Veterinary Centre is also an approved Veterinary Nurse Training Practice
A Veterinary Nursing Approved Centre is an organisation approved by the RCVS to manage veterinary nurse training and assessment. Most VNACs are colleges, training providers or larger groups of veterinary practices. A VNAC provides training and assessment through working in partnership with veterinary practices which train VN students.
The VNAC is accountable to the RCVS for ensuring that training and assessment meets nationally agreed standards. It does this through supporting practice staff and actively monitoring training and assessment which takes place in its associated practices. This process is called internal verification.
Internal verifiers are experienced and suitably qualified veterinary surgeons (MRCVS) or listed/registered veterinary nurses who monitor the work of practice-based assessors. They are employed by the VNAC. An Internal verifier will periodically visit your practice in order to observe your student being assessed, audit portfolio evidence and check records of assessment kept by the practice.
