Train as a Vet Nurse, Backed by the Industry

Vet Nurse Plus is our dedicated training establishment, focused on one thing: producing outstanding veterinary nurse graduates who can hit the ground running from day one. Since 2005, our programme has been built hand-in-hand with the industry that employs our graduates, which is why well over 95% are hired within six months of graduating.

You'll study the NZQA-accredited Level 6 New Zealand Diploma in Veterinary Nursing, delivered full-time over two years. Choose to study in person at our Auckland locations, or via online blended learning with block courses and exams in Auckland, whichever suits how you learn best. With small class sizes, experienced tutors, and hands-on clinic placements from the very start, you'll graduate with real industry exposure, not just theory.
