We have been the leading provider of veterinary leadership and management qualifications for nearly 30 years. We awarded the industry-standard Certificate in Veterinary Practice Management up until 2020; and now offer the internationally-recognised Award, Certificate and Diploma in Veterinary Practice Management, as well as the Veterinary Practice Administration Certificate for those newer to a practice administrative or team leading role.
The VMG/ILM Level 5 Award, Certificate and Diploma in Veterinary Leadership & Management are our flagship qualifications. The modular structure means that whatever your role, or the role you are aspiring to, you will be able to build a course that suits your needs. You will explore an inspiring and engaging range of topics; exploring new theories and applying them to your work, guided by an expert tutor. Find out more:
The Certificate in Veterinary Practice Management was the industry-standard professional examination for veterinary managers. Covering six key areas, it was available to all members of the VMG who wished to consolidate their knowledge and experience with a recognised qualification. The CVPM was retired in 2020 when our new qualifications were launched, but the exam information, and a list of CVPM holders, is still available here.
The Veterinary Practice Administration Certificate is aimed at VMG members who are newer to management, are wishing to diversify from a clinical or customer care role towards branch or practice management, or have come to a veterinary practice role from a different sector. It is a year-long distance-learning course delivered by Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing.
