VetSkill expands Scottish offering with four newly approved qualifications

We are thrilled to share that VetSkill has been accredited by Qualifications Scotland Accreditation to offer four more approved qualifications, further strengthening our offering to providers and learners across Scotland.‍ ‍

Providers in Scotland will now be able to deliver additional high-quality VetSkill qualifications, thanks to a recent approval by Qualifications Scotland Accreditation:

• VetSkill VTEC Award in Canine First Aid SCQF Level 7

• VetSkill VTEC Award in Preventative Canine Dental Care and Oral Hygiene SCQF Level 7

• VetSkill VTEC Certificate for Dog Grooming Assistants SCQF Level 5

• VetSkill VTEC Diploma in Dog Grooming SCQF Level 7

This milestone builds on our 2024 achievement, when VetSkill became formally accredited by Qualifications Scotland Accreditation with an initial suite of five approved qualifications. These developments reflect our commitment to supporting the evolving needs of providers in Scotland.

Expanding our range of Scottish qualifications aligns with VetSkill’s mission to grow our network of centres across the UK and inspire more learners to pursue rewarding careers in their chosen sector.

Robyn Spittle, Standards Lead at VetSkill, comments:

“We are incredibly pleased to expand our Scottish offering and to deepen our engagement within Scotland, strengthening our presence and supporting the ongoing development of our portfolio of qualifications. We look forward to building on this relationship as we continue to broaden opportunities for Scottish learners.”
