Course Content and Structure
The coursework covers all the material needed to complete
the core units and
Small Animal Option Units of the Diploma, and prepares students for the theory
exams which are sat after students have completed the core units, and the
practical exams, which are taken once the option units have been completed.

log of the practical skills
they learn and develop whilst working in practice. MYF will provide
support for both
the students and their Clinical Coaches whilst working on this, and monitor the
students' progress throughout their training.
