Tips For Finding Good Online Vet Tech Schools

By Linda Stetson

Coming up with any online vet tech schools put in at home but in order to find a good one you have to be careful. For starters you should be aware of the difference between an exciting online vet tech course and an AVMA accredited learning online program.

If you are going to spend roughly $20,000 getting a vet tech degree you should get liscense. Seek advice from your state to see what are the requirements are.

(a purely online vet tech course without requirements for on the job training must be avoided)

Even if you graduated from vet tech program won’t guarantee licensure. Some online vet tech programs do not match the minimum hands on requirements.

On the over 100 accredited AVMA vet tech programs only 9 are approved for online.

San Juan College, Farmington, NMse nine tech programs are:

  • Cedar Valley College, Lancaster, TX
  • Blue Ridge Community College, Weyers Cave, VA
  • Moraine Park Technical College, Fond du Lac, WI
  • Jefferson State Community College, Birmingham, AL
  • Penn Foster College, Scottsdale, AZ
  • Northern Virginia Community College, Sterling, VA
  • San Juan College, Farmington, NM
  • St. Petersburg College, St. Petersburg, FL
  • Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN

As you can see fundamental essentials only schools that are AVMA approved to provide ‘online vet tech schools’.

The main reason that these schools may provide online is because in addition they require documented hands on time. By way of example I think that at the Purdue program you should work 10 hours a week at a vet clinic should you be not daily at the school and you also ought to some additional on the job work also.
