“Alex participated in the Launder Farm Pre Vet course and also one to one interview coaching, and it’s been a great decision.”
We’d found it tricky to arrange suitable farm-based experience locally, even though we live in a rural area. The Pre Vet course offers a wide range of hands-on activities and focused seminars, in a supportive, friendly and fun atmosphere, and in a beautiful location (with plenty to do in the area for attending parents!). Alex also found the separate interview coaching with Becky really helpful, and it’s clearly boosted her confidence ahead of the Vet School application and interview process. I can’t think of other ways Alex could have gained these diverse and essential experiences so quickly and enjoyably!

“Matt and Becky’s combination of farm and vet experience made this invaluable for me as an aspiring vet and university applicant.”
I had a fantastic two days getting hands on experience with farm animals. All my many questions were answered. The weekend was very informative, interesting and fun! I liked how practical the course was and I got to engage with different animals in a real farm setting. Matt and Becky’s combination of farm and vet experience made this invaluable for me as an aspiring vet and university applicant. Thank you so much.

“The wealth of knowledge shared was invaluable and succeeded in greatly increasing confidence, both in animal handling and the university application process.”
Becky and her team are simply amazing. From the moment of booking to our leave taking everything has been handled with great warmth and professionalism. It's not always easy to arrange veterinary experience, which can add to an already stressful and competitive university application process - and harder again to get farm based experience - so this course is worth its weight in gold. Becky and her team have put together a brilliantly structured two days that are packed full of information and practical activities whilst still being great fun. The wealth of knowledge shared was invaluable and succeeded in greatly increasing confidence, both in animal handling and the university application process. I cannot thank Becky and her team enough for this thoughtful, excellent course and their dedication to helping aspiring veterinary students.

The course was a brilliant introduction to all things farm. The seminars were engaging and informative and the practicals were excellent - the team were very supportive and no question was a silly question! Absolutely would recommend to anyone wanting to apply for veterinary medicine.

“A terrific opportunity and investment for anyone considering a career working with animals”
Unique opportunity to gain hands on skills and knowledge of working closely with farm animals and horses. Hugely valuable experience for my would-be veterinary student son by a knowledgeable and friendly team led by the brilliant Becky and Matt.
This course gave James confidence and a priceless insight into the care and welfare of larger animals and he had great fun at the same time.I highly recommend the Launder Farm Experience Days, it’s a terrific opportunity and investment for anyone considering a career working with animals.

”I came away feeling much more confident handling large animals. I only wish it could have been longer”
I really enjoyed my experience at Launder Farm. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful, and encouraged us to ask questions about anything we didn't understand. The experience was very hands-on, and great fun. I also found the advice on applying to vet school, and the mock interview questions we covered, very useful. I came away feeling much more confident handling large animals. I only wish it could have been longer!

“I came all the way from Canada to attend the pre vet course and launder Farm certainly did not disappoint!”
I came all the way from Canada to attend the pre vet course and Launder Farm certainly did not disappoint! From the moment they picked me up at the hotel I felt so welcomed. We had such a wide variety of experiences, I don’t think I could’ve had such valuable hands-on teaching anywhere else. I had so much fun at Launder Farm thanks to the wonderful staff, amazing interactive learning and the beautiful country side I got to experience all this on. To anyone who gets the opportunity to attend one of their courses I highly recommend it, I couldn’t have gotten the same experience anywhere else!

”I learnt so much and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone”
Such an amazing experience, Becky and Matt were so lovely and kind, always making sure we got the chance to do everything and that we understood it all. I learnt so much and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Unlike any other course I’ve done/heard of and I was very impressed. Thank you!

“It was an invaluable first step in his Veterinary career”
Our son had a truly rewarding day with Matthew. He enjoyed a lot of hands-on experience and is now very confident handling sheep. Matthew was an excellent teacher and our son learned a great deal from him. It was an invaluable first step in his veterinary career.
