These exam preparation sessions will support candidates taking the AMTRA qualifications in order to become an SQP. An SQP is an animal medicine advisor, known by the legally defined term “Suitably Qualified Person”. An SQP must pass a set of exams to demonstrate animal health knowledge and an understanding of the legal system.
Run over a number of workshops, students will need to attend the relevant sessions for their chosen pathway. You will receive notes and will be expected to complete exercises throughout the sessions. These training sessions are designed to complement the information provided by AMTRA when you register for the qualification and will help you learn your way around the syllabus ahead of your chosen exam sessions.
As an introductory offer we are offering the Revision Sessions for FREE, if you complete the exam preparation module with us.
Please note that candidates must register directly with AMTRA for their exams and must pay AMTRA for this separately before attending this training – information on how to do this can be found on AMTRAs website - https://www.amtra.org.uk/becoming-an-sqp/book-an-exam/
