What is a Learning Pathway?

BVNA is committed to ensuring its future CPD provides delegates with the implementable skills and knowledge to have a direct impact on their veterinary nursing practice, along with the confidence to consider future specialised CPD opportunities and/or advanced level veterinary nursing qualifications too. The Learning Pathway in Behaviour is designed to provide veterinary nurses with an introduction or refresher in animal behaviour, which may encourage them towards future animal behaviour qualifications and roles (such as the ABTC Animal Behaviour Technician [ABT]).

Key course details:

• 16 hours of CPD (plus reflective activities), which you will have 3 months to complete
• 4 modules:
  • Explaining Animal Learning
  • Physiology, Emotion and Behaviour
  • Avoiding Behaviour Problems
  • In-Practice Aspects of Animal Behaviour

Who can enrol?

The course has been written and designed for RVNs. However, we are also very happy to accept any member of the veterinary team. The course may therefore also be suitable for:

• Student Veterinary Nurses
• Animal Nursing Assistants/Veterinary Care Assistants
• Veterinary Surgeons
• Receptionists

While the course is designed to provide delegates with confidence-building knowledge to directly implement in their nursing practice, you do not need to currently be in practice to undertake the course.

Course Fees

£95 for BVNA Members / £195 for Non Members*

* A special rate of £131 is also available for Non Members wishing to register for BVNA Membership at the same time as enrolment. 

Here’s what some of our previous delegates say about the course:

“This course is perfect for anyone wishing to either start a path in behaviour or even a refresher. I thoroughly enjoyed all parts included in the course and would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about behaviour.”

“Thank you for providing this course! I absolutely loved it! I found the layout very engaging and suitable for people new to behaviour and for those who already have an interest. This course is very thorough and looks at behaviour in a multimodal approach which really got me thinking.”

“I really enjoyed this course. I found learning from all the examples of real life cases really helpful in aiding my understanding of all the different explained principles. The variety of activities ranging from webinars to interactive activities, helped keep me engaged and enabled me to test my own knowledge. The presentation of the course made it very user friendly. I found the course very inspiring and has encouraged me to further apply what I have learnt to practice. It is definitely a course that I felt was needed as it can be tricky trying to determine which route is best for furthering knowledge in this area.”
