Course Overview
Veterinary Nurses are rare finds — highly skilled, deeply compassionate, and always in demand. They balance science and sensitivity, precision and empathy, strength and softness.
They are, quite simply, the UNICORNS of the veterinary industry.
The Khula Unicorn Academy is a 4-module CPD course created specifically for South African veterinary nurses, built around the topics nurses themselves identified as most valuable in our 2023 national survey.
Since launching at the end of 2023, over 120 veterinary nurses have successfully completed the programme. Due to its overwhelming success and continued demand, we are delighted to now offer this course on an ongoing basis — ensuring even more of our colleagues can access practical, confidence-building education designed for real-world practice.
