Testimonials
"I can't thank the staff at Bottle Green enough for giving me the opportunity and support to achieve my dream of becoming a qualified RVN. As an older student, I had a lack of self-confidence in returning to education and now I eventually wish to do further education in advanced veterinary nursing. The college offered emotional and learning support, allowing me to feel comfortable when in classes. The college also helped me with professional and personal issues that gave me the opportunity to continue with the course when I really considered giving up. Every teacher that I had the pleasure of learning from, taught with passion, which made me feel more motivated, and even when they pushed us to achieve, they did so in a supportive manner.
Thank you Bottle Green for giving me this opportunity!" Kirsty
"I cannot thank the staff at Bottle Green enough for the support that they gave me while I was studying to become and RVN. Without them I would not be able to say that I have made my lifelong goal of becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse. They were able to adapt their way of teaching to my own way of learning, and when I was struggling with my studies and at my lowest, they assisted me in 1-1 tutoring to help me pass my final exams. I would not be where I am without the dedication all tutors put into their teaching and support for their students. I can now say that I am the most confident I have ever been, and I have even managed to become head nurse of our branch practice, which I never thought I would be able to say. Everyone at Bottle Green Training is the best!" Jodie
"I just wanted to send you an update on my life and where my veterinary career has taken me!
Today I got my accreditation from the AVECC TN as a VTS(ECC). A massive achievement that, when thinking of the place I was in when achieving my L3 diploma, I didn’t imagine I would ever get to this stage.
I’m one of the senior ECC nurses at SASH in Sydney Australia and I’m one of the nurse trainers for the department. It’s times like this when I reflect on my Veterinary Nursing career and I think it if wasn’t for people like you and everyone at BGT pushing me through my nursing qualification I wouldn’t have advanced to where I am today. I’ve still got Shaun by my side pushing me to every one of my achievements and I’m just so grateful for all the support I’ve ever been given!
I guess it goes to show when things seem tough and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, things can turn themselves around and with time, dedication and a lot of support you can achieve whatever you want to!
Thank you for everything again!" Alex
