“Yes”
All qualifications offered by AACI are available to international students that are located overseas.
AACI specialises in Animal Care and Veterinary Nursing qualifications that are endorsed by ASQA and quality assured and governed by ASQA Quality Standards. Our qualifications are nationally recognised and under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the current Animal Care and Management Industry Training Packages
AACI requires students to learn knowledge, skills and demonstrate the practical application of these in a VET Clinic or VET Hospital. As there is a significant amount of Australian local and state legislation, regulations and standards we only allow from certain common law countries (see below).
In many non-common law countries, certain legislation, regulations and standards are often different, making it difficult for AACI to assess and recognise competency of a student in all areas of the qualification.
Consequently, AACI only accepts applications from students living overseas living and working in the following common law countries;
