Welcome to Canine and Equine
Physiotherapy Training.
Canine and Equine Physiotherapy Training was set up to
fulfil a need as an alternative route for the education of veterinary
physiotherapy students. Since its inception in January 2009, Canine and
Equine Physiotherapy Training (CEPT) has set as its guiding principles
the quality of education, the standard of the qualification, and the
needs of the students.
CEPT is a non-profit organization.
Aims of
CEPT
To provide a sound and high quality education for
individuals wishing to become veterinary physiotherapists (aka animal physiotherapists), and thus be
able to provide physiotherapy for animals needing specialist attention
after injury, surgery, or for maintenance and support, including
geriatric patients.
To pay attention to the needs of sporting
animals, highlighting the specific injuries sustained during the course
of their work, and thus provide a sound basis for developing a
physiotherapeutic plan for these patients.
To provide an educational route for individuals wishing to
qualify as veterinary physiotherapists, but do not already have
veterinary or physiotherapy qualifications.
Education with CEPT
In order to apply for the
veterinary physiotherapy course, you need some form of higher education (i.e a degree) or prior learning experience, which may be taken into account for mature applicants. A good working knowledge of
animal care and handling is also required.
You do not need to be a veterinary surgeon, veterinary nurse or human physiotherapist,
although holders of such qualifications are welcome to apply.
If you are unsure about
whether your qualifications are accepted, or you want to find out more,
please use the enquiry
page.
The course is run independently by CEPT using the facilities at the Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine & Science (Sutton Bonington campus).
