About The Animal Academy
Based in Western Australia just out of the vibrant port of Fremantle, just 15 minutes drive from Perth city centre. The Animal Academy was born from a humble desire to produce highly trained and skilled animal assistants and veterinary nurses, with the focus on preparing excellent graduates that are sought after by industry.
The organisation was founded by an internationally experienced veterinary nurse who recognises that to be a great veterinary nurse requires face to face training which is best taught by qualified veterinary nurses and supported by veterinarians, whilst learning on the job.
The learning experience is focused around a practical based curriculum which supports students to learn whilst providing a rewarding educational experience. Intimate industry knowledge, honed from a mix of local and global experience has established The Animal Academy as an educator of choice amongst both domestic and international students.
