Answer:
People interested in careers in veterinary technology (vet tech) can find programs offered at technical and trade schools. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has a database of accredited veterinary technician programs sorted by state. While the programs are not searchable by type, trade and technical schools are listed among the accredited schools, including Penn Foster College, YTI Career Institute, and Miller-Motte College. Penn Foster College offers a veterinary technician degree through an online program, with hands-on technician experience gained during clinical externship courses. YTI Career Institute and Miller-Motte College offer traditional in-person veterinary technician programs with in-person externship programs that involve both small and large animals.
Completing an accredited veterinary technician program may matter for students who wish to practice in a state that requires both a credential and a license that requires an accredited degree. Applicants should carefully review the state licensing or credential requirements before applying to vet tech programs.
