Examinations take place in June each year in one of 6 exam centres nationwide that accept external candidates.
The Assessment for the full Level 2 Small Animal Care certificate is through:
– Examination - 2 hour written examination. Consists of a mixture of short answer, long answer and multiple choice questions
