Outros componentes chave do programa
Após cada um dos 12 módulos, os formandos que pretendam submeter-se ao exame GPCert(SAP), devem estudar um tema adicional (aditional learning) individualmente. A combinação entre os módulos leccionados e o estudo individual permitirão aos candidatos abranger a totalidade do programa durante o período do curso. Os objectivos de aprendizagem juntamente com as bibliografias recomendadas serão fornecidos para estes exercícios adicionais.

Além das principais áreas clínicas, o programa também considera 12 exercicios de aptidões chave (“Key-Skills”) que são de extrema importância para Médicos Veterinários que exerçam clínica. É esperado que os candidatos ao GPCert(SAP) completem os 12 exercícios de aptidões chave (“Key-Skills”).
