A Suffolk-based college specialising in veterinary and animal care studies has announced it will be expanding to Kent in September 2013.
The Central College of Animal Studies is to open a new centre in Folkestone, providing a range of both full and part-time learning programmes and apprenticeships.
The college aims to ensure students are supported in their learning, and to equip them with working knowledge and practical skills for the workplace.
"We are very excited to be able to bring our tried and tested delivery model, which has been operating successfully in Suffolk, to Kent for September 2013," said Erica Dorling, centres co-ordinator at Central College.
"Students of Central College can expect to learn in a friendly environment and benefit from being part of a small group, provided with plenty of individual attention from a great team of teaching staff.
"We strive to provide a flexible, fresh approach to nurse training that will suit the needs of practices and their students."
Courses which will be available for the 2013-14 academic year include the Diploma in Animal Nursing (DipAN), Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (DipVN) and Level 2 Veterinary Nursing Assistant (VNA).
