The intention of this course is to provide veterinarians with a comprehensive intermediate level of knowledge and skills in the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The course covers a broad range of formulas beyond the top 20 in the Getting Started Series.
You will be able to competently treat many common diseases and also some complex disease patterns will be explored; you will be introduced to a wide range of herbal formulas and the combination of formulas for more complex cases. The course is self-directed and self-assessed, with tutor support and access to case support during the course. It is based on a series of lectures for each system and lecture notes. This course is based on some of the core material covered in 10639NAT-Graduate Diploma of Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine with Dr Steve Marsden presenting the information, and the course can provide recognition of prior learning for the post-graduate degree, however, the certification course does not cover the breadth and depth of 10639NAT-Graduate Diploma of Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine but will provide comprehensive training for a veterinarian who wishes to incorporate a reasonable level of knowledge into their practice in the subjects covered in the course outline.
If you complete the course and wish to proceed to 10639NAT-Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine, you will receive recognition of prior learning which means you will be exempt from some of the assessment activities. This course also provides recognition of prior learning for a portion of the advanced components of the 10640NAT-Graduate Diploma of Veterinary Acupuncture.

All our courses are available to enrol at any time. Our courses are part time, self paced within the course timeframe, and fully online. Sometimes there is a scheduled start date for a course, in which we accept a group intake of enrolments. This encourages a cohort of students to move through the course together, making for a more interactive learning experience.
Although some courses have live sessions available, there are no live sessions that you are required to attend for any of our courses. Our courses are delivered online and are self paced within the course timeframe, to give you the greatest flexibility with your study. You can study anywhere, anytime that suits you. We have great learning tools such as lectures, comprehensive course notes, videos, online resources, discussion forum and continuous support from our highly qualified and experienced tutors to help you can get the most out of your course.
Please refer to our enrolment terms and conditions when seeking extra time in a course, https://civtedu.org/enrolment-terms-and-conditions
If you take a "leave of absence/deferral" from a course this freezes your progress in the course. You will have no access to the course during this time. A request for a leave of absence/deferral can be made for up to 3 months, initially. Longer periods of time away from the course can be reviewed after this time. If you want to use any course resources whilst you are taking your leave of absence/deferral you will need to download the material (such as documents, course notes, reading material) beforehand. There is no fee to take a leave of absence/deferral, however your regular payment instalments for the course will continue.
If you request an "extension" for a course, you may be given extra time in a course and still have full access to the course. An extension can be granted for up to, or equal to, the maximal period of study for that course. There is a fee involved in applying for an extension, this varies according to the amount of extra time requested and is found on the link provided.
This depends on the type of course you enrol in.
Our introductory or short courses require approximately 3-5 hours per week. Our Certifications and Graduate Diplomas require approximately 5-10 hours per week. This will vary amongst individuals, depending on the pace in which they learn. More time may be needed each week, depending on how long an individual needs to spend on completing assignments.
