PROMISING FUTURES
Built on strong foundations
The Vet Graduate Academy is a comprehensive one-year training programme brought to you by Vet Dynamics and Central CPD, designed to equip new vet graduates with the clinical, interpersonal and business skills they need in order to succeed in their new careers and provide top-notch care to your patients.
What’s more, with the Vet Graduate Academy, your practice can offer the support and mentorship previously only available to corporate employees, helping you to stand out to newly qualified vets.
Helping you attract top talent
As a busy veterinary clinic, you know the importance of having a highly trained and skilled team. But in the current staffing climate, we know that recruiting and retaining talent is increasingly challenging for independent practices in particular.
The Vet Graduate Academy delivers winning outcomes for both graduates and practices, resulting in promising professional relationships from the very start.
Next course starts March 2025.

Your graduates will have the opportunity to develop their skills, build key relationships and camaraderie with their peers and grow in confidence – helping them to make a real impact in your practice.
- An attractive development package to give your practice a competitive edge in graduate vet recruitment.
- Digital logo to add to your job adverts. High quality training to upskill your graduates to their full potential.

Please note that you will also need to nominate an in-practice mentor, to support your delegate throughout the duration of the course. Whether this is yourself, or another person in the team, your nominated mentor will play a vital part in the Vet Graduate Academy, supporting and encouraging your delegate to stay on track, complete the modules and reflect on their learning. They will also need to be available to speak with our Business Development Coach at various points during the course.

A fantastic investment
Our new grad has had a fantastic experience on the Vet Grad Academy.
He has found meeting and chatting to other new graduates in similar positions just as useful as the material delivered by Rebecca.
The coaching calls and support he has received has been second to none and he is learning plenty of the important Vet Dynamic’s principles.
I would highly recommend to anyone who is considering sending their graduates on the course.
Thank you Vet Dynamics!
