Choose Vetpol for Online SQP Exams
It’s a fact that most people find exams stressful. Travelling to exam centres only adds to the problem, especially if you live in a rural location or have family commitments that make time away from the area difficult. So we have been keen to offer a solution that minimises hassle allowing students to put all their energy and focus into gaining their qualification.
The solution is online proctored exams.
Vetpol pioneered online proctored exams; a first for the SQP sector. This means students can sit exams at home or their place of work – in fact, anywhere with a good internet connection. Students are given a two-week slot in which to complete their exams and they can sit them together or apart, at any time during their exam slot.
RVNs subscribing to the SQP Integration course have just one exam to complete and are given an exam slot of 7 days.
Vetpol are the only SQP training provider to offer this level of convenience!
Choose Vetpol for Unparalleled Support
As part of the Vetpol community, you need never feel alone. We run an SQP Discussion Group on Facebook where you can network with your peers and ask questions which are answered by a range of experts, including other SQPs. Often the best help comes from people going through similar challenges to the ones you are faced with.
The Vetpol team are also always on hand should you have a question to ask or feel some guidance is required.
Likewise, should you require the expertise of an external SQP trainer to accelerate your studies, we will point you in the right direction.
When it comes to support we’ve covered all the bases and consistently achieve student satisfaction ratings, consistently in excess of 90%.
Choose Vetpol for better recognition of the SQP qualification
We don’t stop supporting you when you become qualified either.
You’ve worked hard to earn SQP status and deserve professional recognition – yet today, few members of the general public know what a SQP is, nor what they do. This is something Vetpol wishes to address.
We do this through the use of powerful trademarks that signpost veterinary medicines and the person with the expertise to advise and dispense them. Having a clear, visual link between products and qualified experts gives SQPs the professional recognition they deserve and need to fulfil their roles.
We are working to build a future where the hard work, knowledge and expertise of all SQPs is recognised and valued by animal owners and the businesses that employ them. SQPs deserve nothing less.
SQP Qualification and Beyond…
Having achieved qualification, SQPs must be registered with a VMD-approved Registration Body, such as Vetpol, in order to practice as a SQP. You will find more information about this on the Vetpol Register page.
Qualified SQPs will find lots of CPD options on our CPD page. They can also reach their targets by attending Vetpol’s SQP Congress.
