Examination Centres and Taught Courses
AMTRA training can be undertaken as home based
learning with two years from enrolment in which to qualify; taught courses are
offered by some colleges and trainers on a commercial basis, and although they
are highly advantageous, they are an "optional extra".
Current AMTRA Examination centres also offering
training courses are listed below, with the timetable of courses and
examinations currently on offer. Further examination centres and courses will
be added to this list as they become available. Check the AMTRA website (www.amtra.org.uk)
for the most up to date information.
Please also read
"Becoming an SQP" for more information.
There is a
separate page with course and exam dates for Veterinary Nurses.
Exams must be booked an absolute minimum of
2 weeks prior to the exam date. Some exams fill up well in advance.
