Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Fees Free if studying at Vet Nurse Plus?2022-05-31T19:10:28+12:00

Yes – if you are eligible. Go to www.feesfree.govt.nz to check your eligibility. You will need your National Student Number (NSN).

Can I get a student loan to cover my course fees and living expenses?2022-05-31T19:10:11+12:00

Yes, provided you meet Studylink eligibilty requirements. You will need to apply through Studylink. We’re happy to assist successful course applicants with their student loan applications.

Can I study part-time or by correspondence?2022-05-31T19:09:58+12:00

Unfortunately, not at this stage.

The programme is full-time with time spent weekly in the classroom, in veterinary clinics and at home or in the library doing your own learning. Most students spend an additional 4-6 hours a week on additional study and homework.

In your Diploma year of study, there will be less time in the classroom and more time in veterinary clinics for advanced practical learning. This may suit veterinary nurses who are currently employed and wish to return to study the Diploma whilst still maintaining part-time work in a veterinary clinic.

I am a mature person and have been in the work force for a number of years in an unrelated industry. Would I be accepted?2022-05-31T19:09:44+12:00

We welcome applications from mature students who are seeking a different career, life style change or wish to simply be involved in animal health. Do not think you will be alone in the classroom – up to 40% of our students per year are considered mature. Mature students will be evaluated on a case by case basis however it is desirable to hold some form of equivalent secondary or tertiary study as per our entry criteria. If you have any questions or concerns just give us a call.

Does Vet Nurse Plus help organise my clinical placements once I’m on the programme?2022-05-31T19:09:30+12:00

Yes. We have a strong connection with the veterinary industry and work closely with our partner vet clinics throughout the Auckland region. We will organise all your placements in clinics for the Certificate, and will assist with any placements in the Diploma too should this be required.
