Any Online Vet Technician Or Assistant Schools?
I am looking for online schools that offer Vet Technician or Vet Assistant schools. Anyone know of any? I know Penn Foster offers both, but the Technician one requires online discussions at certain times and a internship. I also know that Ashworth College offers the Vet Assistant one but I have never gone through them. Any thoughts on either program or other programs like it online. Must be completely online.

Ok, veterinary assistant schools are complete BS!!! Sorry, but I get so annoyed with them. It is a SCAM. You do NOT need a degree/certificate/etc to be an assistant. You earn that job title by hands-on experience.
Veterinary technicians on the other hand require a 2 year Associates degree, and this must be obtained through a school that is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association. http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/vette…
There are no schools that are solely online. Some tech schools have certain courses that are offered online, but many are lab-based and require you to be on site in a classroom. Most schools will also require you to complete several internships. My school had us intern for 20 weeks and we had to intern 30 hrs/week. You can’t adequately learn everything there is to being a vet tech by only looking at a computer screen.
