Synoptic Examination

All synoptic exams must now be booked through the RCVS website.

The University of Liverpool is no longer running the synoptic examination. Candidates can instead sit synoptic exams directly with the RCVS. The RCVS plans to offer year-round exam dates, online and in-person. If you are already planning to sit a synoptic exam this summer / autumn, these will go ahead as expected with the RCVS. The exam format, standards and requirements will remain the same.

CertAVP modules delivered by the University remain fully accredited by the RCVS and are not affected in any way.

To register your interest to sit the synoptic exam with the RCVS, or if you need any further information, see the RCVS website.
