Information for Employers

The Animal Industries Resource Centre has had a proven and highly respected reputation working with the Veterinary and Animal Care Industries for nearly twenty years. As a leading Registered Training Organisation, we recognise and uphold the standards required for Veterinary Nurses and Animal Carers. We ensure we deliver the most up to date information, assessment methods and learning environment to all our students.

What to expect when your employee enrols with AIRC

That your employee is supported by a dedicated team of industry trained staff
Course delivery and materials reflect the most current and up to date information
A variety of learning methodology is used
Regular communication with employers/mentors and students on the students progression
Face to Face assessments for all practical components of the course being delivered

Studying with AIRC is a perfect way for nurses to balance their study, their job and their life. AIRC are just a phone call away and invaluable with their assistance in every area of the practice from Management through to Veterinary Nursing Studies.

We love the training provided by AIRC & CCG. AIRC trained nurses are incredibly competent. The rigorous training program provides nurses with a high level of underpinning knowledge. This is backed up by workplace assessments to ensure that theory translates into practice. We could not be happier with our AIRC-trained nurses and choose AIRC for both Cert IV and Diplomas.

I have relied heavily on the quality study materials, as well as the user-friendly online service and student website. I continue to rely on the Study Guides as a ready handbook for technical information in several areas of nursing practice.

Employing a Trainee

A traineeship is a structured training and paid employment arrangement that involves a contract between the employer, the government and the trainee. Apprentices and trainees are employed under a government-approved training agreement, which is a legal commitment. Employers of trainees are required to allow time from normal day-to-day tasks to participate in set training sessions and course work. The employer may be responsible for additional tuition fees due to the funding levels payable to training organisations.

Employer Responsibilities

Provide a person to act as mentor who will guide, encourage and inspire the student to make the most of their studies. A mentor should hold the same qualification (or higher) as the one being studied
