Veterinary Technology (CSR and Full Examination) 2011
Due to the large number of unregistered people working as veterinary technologists in laboratories, and the effect
this had on laboratory accreditation, a decision was made to allow these persons to sit a Competence Specific
Registration [CSR] examination, to test them on the subjects involved in the work they actually performed. A total
of fourteen examinations were written. All the examination papers had been set by lecturers at Tshwane
University of Technology (TUT), the Faculty of Veterinary Science, UP and employees of state and private
laboratories. Due to the number of candidates enrolled for the examination and the varied subjects this had been
a major and time consuming exercise to bring persons with non–prescribed qualifications on board. Two venues
were made available to accommodate employers and employees, one in KwaZulu-Natal for 22 candidates and
one in Gauteng for 50 candidates.
