There are many factors to consider when evaluating Veterinary Technology programs.  Training for a new career involves a great investment of time, effort and money.  By considering the following factors when evaluating Veterinary Technology programs, you can choose the best program for your needs and career aspirations:

  1. Make Sure the School is Accredited

Look for a school that is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association.  Additionally, instructors should be licensed in their field and have significant experience.
 

  1. Look for On-Site Facilities

The field of veterinary technology involves a substantial amount of hands-on training.  A college that has on-site facilities, like animal kennels, laboratories and even animal surgical suites is advantageous. Additionally, Vet Tech college’s which have relationships with local zoos and animal facilities should be considered.
 

  1. Look for Qualified Staff

Choose veterinary technology programs with licensed veterinarians or veterinary technicians on staff.  Inquire about the experience of the faculty and look for staff who work in the field.
 

  1. Choose a College with Career Placement Services

Consider a college that provides career advisement or career placement services for its students.  Some colleges even continue to provide career advisement services for students after they graduate.  Talk to the college’s career advisement professionals and former graduates about their placement success rate.

Make the most of your investment of time, energy and of course money by choosing the right college to prepare you for your Veterinary Technology career. Stautzenberger College’s Veterinary Technology Program is one of the largest in Northeast Ohio and will provide you with the hands-on skills and training needed for you to turn your passion for animals into a rewarding career.   Contact Stautzenberger College, Brecksville today at 1-800-473-2997 or by e-mail at jpgirard@stautzenberger.com.
