Contrary to what the general public is being informed, there is, at this time, NO nationally accredited Training Package for Equine Dentistry in Australia. Due to a very strong demand from the horse industry and interested students, the College’s private teaching program continues to run it’s teaching blocks three times each year. At such time as the National Training Package is implemented, each student enrolled in our program and having already completed existing modules, will receive “Recognition of Prior Learning” (RPL’s) for Units of Competency already completed. We take this opportunity to thank all of our valued clients and friends who took the time to write submissions to the Department of Primary Industries regarding the 2006 changes to the Veterinary Practice Act. The overwhelming response to this submission by the horse industry highlighted the need for our College to continue to strive for National Recognition of appropriately trained and accredited equine dental practitioners throughout Australia and the rest of the world. Students never cease to show amazement at the standard of education that is offered at the College, and the care and commitment of all persons involved in attending the College, from horse-owners to instructors to students. It is a truly amazing program of learning to be in and we welcome all interested persons who wish to be involved in this rewarding career to contact us for more information on our learning program.   College of Equine Dentistry Contact Details: Office Phone: 02 6743 7123 International: 001161 267 437 123 Mobile: 0428 425 378 Email:  equident@ozemail.com.au
