Say > 0 > Quote: "I was recently diagnosed with Autism. While studying at CAW, even before my diagnosis, I feel I was treated with grace by my lectures and offered help when needed. It helped me not to feel alone. So far the best part of this course has been my placements! I absolutely adore my job and love learning. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt it’s to believe in yourself! You don’t need the highest grades or to be the best in the class, if animals are truly something you love then this is absolutely the course for you!"

Say > 1 > Quote: "I have enjoyed the veterinary nursing course and particularly enjoy the placement aspects and how it is integrated into the course.

I found the workload towards the end challenging but we had lots of support from the staff to guide us through this. I have a job as an RVN at a veterinary hospital for after I graduate. I would say to prospective students that this degree can be challenging but it is so rewarding and you are supported the whole way! "

Say > 0 > Reference: Ellen Cursons

Say > 1 > Quote: "The parts of my course I liked the most are how easy it was to get feedback from lecturers and give feedback as well. What I found best about my time at university was the community, like the other students in my year - I like to think we will keep our friendship and our group chat for life now and that makes me so happy, and the staff and lecturers who have been so supportive this whole time. My plans for the future are to work in general practice for a while, and then possibly farm animals and then lecturing hopefully. My advice would be to fully throw yourself in to the experience because by putting yourself out there you make friends, you build your confidence and even when you don't think you will you will succeed!"
