Really good interactive content. Makes it much more interesting.
In the quiz I got my dream career of vet nurse so I am buzzing and I am extremely passionate and motivated about getting there.
Great links for our students to their vet nursing module as well as husbandry unit. Also great for employability for the students as well - thank you
