SQP training
Vetpol offers online training courses leading to SQP qualification in the Companion Animal, Equine, Farm and Avian sectors plus additional courses in other aspects of animal health and welfare.
Only Vetpol delivers a fast-track route, with most students studying the Level 4 SQP qualification, qualifying within 3-6 months.
Nurses studying the SQP Integration for RVNs course, which recognises the extensive training RVNs have already completed, can move from start of studies to earning a place on the Vetpol SQP register in as little as 4 weeks!
Do you work in an agri-merchant, pet shop, groomers or vet practice and would like to develop your career through acquiring new knowledge and skills? Or perhaps you are working in another area entirely but have also wanted to work with animals, improving their health and welfare? If that sounds like you, SQP training could be what you are looking for and Vetpol will look after you every step of the way.
SQP training will allow you to supply and prescribe certain categories of animal medicines. Once your online training is complete you will also need to keep your knowledge up to date with continuing professional development (CPD) in order to maintain your registration. Vetpol is continually improving access and variety to CPD training for SQPs.
Other Vetpol courses
We have worked with LANTRA to develop a ‘Safe Use of Veterinary Medicines’ course that is also delivered as online training. This course can improve your knowledge with regard to animal medicines or act as an entry point to becoming a SQP.
Vetpol offers an online Veterinary Pharmacy Manager course for anyone running a veterinary pharmacy or wanting to know more about how to run a pharmacy successfully. This online course consists of 20 hours self study with an online exam at the end – you can take the exam as many times as you like as the objective is to teach students what they need to know rather than pass/fail them!
The Veterinary Pharmacy Manager course is deemed an appropriate dispensing course for the purposes of the Practice Standards Scheme (PSS). The course successfully meets PSS Requirements 10.3.1 (Small Animal Veterinary Hospital and 9.3.1 (Equine Veterinary Hospital), as well as the awards points 10.5.1 (Small Animal), 9.5.1 (Equine) and 8.5.1 (Farm) thus equipping practices to run their pharmacy in line with the PSS.
