The site of www.veteducation.com.au outlines the many courses run through this private veterinary education provider. Their main strength is in online distance learning for veterinary nurses and technicians
They also run a live online seminar series for veterinarians, practice managers, and veterinary technicians as well, with specialist speakers from Australia, New Zealand and the US.
