Designated Certificates from Edinburgh Vet School

Candidates who wish to work towards one of these qualifications must pass the A-Professional Key Skills module and B-Clinical Key Skills module. Candidates must then choose the remaining modules from a specific range of options relevant to the subject area.

The module combination rules for each of the designated certificates are provided below. These lay out the range of options available for candidates wishing to obtain a particular designated CertAVP.

Candidates who are undertaking one of the designated certificates must take a final synoptic assessment, conducted by RCVS, once all the required modules have been passed. In most cases this will take the form of an oral and/or practical examination.
