As Student Veterinary Nurses (SVNs) approach the final stage of their training journey - the OSCE - it is completely natural for this milestone to bring a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and nerves. Preparing students for this moment is never the responsibility of one organisation alone. It is the result of close collaboration between training providers and awarding organisations.

On 19 November 2025, VetSkill was thrilled to collaborate with Paula Bryan from the British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA) on a virtual Dog Grooming CPD event designed for both trainee and existing dog groomers.

The first ever National SQP Week - a nationwide celebration of the vital role Suitably Qualified Persons (SQPs) also known as Animal Medicines Advisors, play in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of livestock and pets across the UK, will take place 5-12 June 2026.

VetSkill is overjoyed to welcome another approved centre to our community: Best Friends. This newly opened dog grooming and training specialist operates as a remote classroom under VetSkill approved grooming school, Career Hounds.

VetSkill is thrilled to announce that, with immediate effect, the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the release of OSCE results has been reduced from 15 working days to just 10 working days.

VetSkill is delighted to announce the expansion of its Level 4 Animal Medicines Advisors (SQP) suite, with the launch of two new qualifications covering Equine and Farm Animal species groups.

VetSkill approved centre Northumberland College has recently hit an exciting milestone: the college’s first Level 3 Veterinary Nursing learner to achieve a Distinction grade.

Exciting news! Bicton College is now approved to deliver the VetSkill Level 2 Certificate in Veterinary Care Support, joining 16 other approved centres offering this qualification.
