RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (Online Learning)

The RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) is a flexible, modular approach to achieving veterinary postgraduate qualifications.

Credits are awarded by RCVS and not the University of Edinburgh, which means the programme is not eligible for a University of Edinburgh award.

Design your own postgraduate certificate

You can design your own postgraduate certificate by choosing a combination of 10 credit elements that reflects your area of interest and are directly relevant to your work.

As part of this consistent, flexible framework, you can choose modules from a number of accredited institutions in the UK.

Self-study Note that all Edinburgh CertAVP modules are self-study (assessment only) which includes guidance from the team and access to an online support environment. No teaching materials are included.

If you wish to undertake taught courses for your certificate, please contact us about the Masters in Veterinary Science in Advanced Clinical Practice.

You are encouraged to support your study by undertaking appropriate continuing professional development (CPD) and working closely with a mentor or senior colleague with experience in the subject area and/or personal experience of undertaking veterinary postgraduate qualifications.
