I have to agree with Aya on this one.The course work is advertised as Open University type.I applied years ago (when the course was first started )it was very expensive and the work sent to me was appalling.There were stereotyped and some of the diagrams were so smudged they were useless.I had to get my own books and do independent study.I worked hard on this and when I went to do the exam,which cost more money,plus train fare and taxi fare,I discovered from other people there that I had not been sent all of the course work,there were 4 pages missing from my folder!.Vedra told me ,quite unconcernedly,that I would be unable to sit the exam!.I told her that after spending all that time and money on travelling,I was going to try the exam.She had to give in and let me do it..Quite honestly an intelligent 5 year old could have ans werered most of the questions.I finished the papers very quickly as did a few others.There were 7 of us.The other ladies said the same,all that studying was a waste of time.The exam papers are set by Vedra and checked by her.There is no proper examination board involved.the BAR is not recognised by any ex amening board or educational authority and is not recognised by the RCVS or any veterinary body.
I actually got an A Honors for the exam,but that is no honour because it was so simple.
This was years ago and the course work may be improved,but I have seen recent sample and was horrified by the information it contained.Some of it dangerous.
It also annoys ne that6 CCT is advertised as a veterinary hospital.There is and has never been a hospital.Vedra has always worked from home with the help of volunteers.
CCT were prosecuted a few years ago and it was Peter who prevented Vedra from going to jail.She had to promise to have a vet on the premises to treat the gps.This only happened for a short time.
