You need to register before you can pay and access the OCQ(AHP)s. There is a one-off fee for registration.

• Registration must be done on an individual basis.
• Employers of multiple AHPs/COs may apply, in advance, for a Practice Code to enable group invoicing facilities. This must be agreed in advance with Improve International and is at our discretion.
• APHA Government funding: Prospective FCCO candidates must contact the APHA OV Team to obtain a funded code for registration and enrolment on the FCCO course. For further information, please email CSCOneHealthOVTeam@apha.gov.uk.

Practice Codes (Group Invoicing Facilities)

In order to set up a Practice Code, you must provide us with the following information via email:

• Employer/ Business name
• Employer/ Business address
• Telephone number
• Name of an authorised person who will administer the code (the 'nominated code holder')
• Their email address

The nominated code holder accepts responsibility for code use within their practice.

Please note:

• The nominated code holder has sole responsibility for distributing the code to their colleagues as required.
• To prevent misuse of the code, Improve International will never issue it to anyone other than the nominated code holder.
• In compliance with GDPR, Improve International will not give out the details of the nominated code holder to any person who enquires about the practice code or the nominated code holder.
• Therefore, the nominated code holder must ensure that their colleagues know or have some way of finding out that they are the nominated code holder and that they must contact them to obtain the code.
• If the nominated code holder wishes to transfer the role to someone else in their business, they must provide Improve International with written notification of this, and the contact details of the new nominated code holder, so that we can update our records accordingly.

Once set up, the Practice Code must be entered in the 'Payment' section when vets register and/or enrol on courses. By doing this, they will bypass the card payment process and the vet will receive a confirmation email.

Invoices will be emailed to businesses monthly, consolidating any registrations and enrolments made using the Practice Code in that month.

Please contact us if you have further queries.
