Basic VCA – Classroom + Online (English language)
Hybrid Basic VCA course in English
The hybrid Basic VCA course combines online learning with a one-day classroom training session in English – an excellent way to prepare for the VCA exam. With immediate access to e-learning materials, you can start studying right after registration and then reinforce your knowledge during the in-person session with an experienced instructor just before the exam.
This hybrid format allows for flexible theoretical learning online, paired with direct interaction with the trainer during classroom training. This combination significantly increases your chances of passing the exam successfully.
If you pass the online test, the theoretical part is considered complete, and you proceed directly to the practical part.
Note: We reserve the right to re-verify a participant’s theoretical knowledge through questions during the practical session or by requesting a retest to confirm that the online test was completed based on the participant’s own knowledge.
