New modular certificates to be introduced next year

1 August 2006

Following Council's approval in June of the bye-laws and rules for administration for the new modular certificates, information packs have been sent to veterinary schools and some other universities inviting them to apply for accreditation for the modules they wish to offer. We will hold a meeting in October to consider the first batch of applications.

Following approval, some modules will be available for enrolment from early 2007, with others becoming available throughout the year. Details on the enrolment process and module providers will be published after the October meeting.

Meanwhile, the current RCVS certificates remain available for enrolment up to 1 November 2007 to allow time for the new modular system to get established.

Although assessment will be under the ambit of universities, CPD providers are strongly encouraged to work in collaboration with universities in the provision of courses. We will be running a seminar on 25 January 2007 to explore these possibilities in more detail.

Please visit the modular certificates page for more information, including copies of the bye-laws, rules for administration, accreditation application forms and copies of the modules, or contact the Education Department on (020) 7202 0791 or [email protected].
