How Do I Apply?

Step1: Request an Information package to be mailed to you.

You can call the admissions office Monday-Thursday 8:00am-4:30pm to speak to a representative or leave a message during non-office hours or you can send an emai to info@vetassistant.com.

When leaving a message or sending an email be sure to include the following information:

Your full name
Mailing address
Contact phone number
If you are currently working in an animal hospital- the name of the hospital.

Step 2: Make an appointment to attend an “Information and Application Session” by calling or emailing (info@vetassistant.com) the admissions office Monday-Thursday 8:00am to 4:30pm and Friday 8:00am to 12:00noon. Catalogs, Class Schedules and Tuition Information will be available at these sessions.

Those who have their application ready to submit will be able to do so at this meeting (see list of necessary items below)

A schedule for "Information Sessions" can be found by clicking on the sub page under the "Schedules" main tab.

Who Should Attend These Sessions And What Will Be Discussed?
Anyone, adult family members included is welcome to attend a free information session to learn about the different programs, their requirements, externship requirements, the schedules and fees and have a tour of the facility.

Step 3: Complete Your Testing

On the same day that you attend the Information and Application Session- if you have a completed and qualified application you may stay to take the necessary pre-acceptance exams. If you are not quite ready to apply yet, you may come back to another session to complete your testing. Page 4 has some sample Math and English questions.

How Will I Know If I am Accepted?
For those applying to the Veterinary Attendant program, you will receive a letter in the mail notifying you whether or not you passed the testing. In this letter you will be given an appointment date and time for the Assessment Interview. This Assessment Interview is only required for the Veterinary Attendant Program. You will then receive another letter notifying you of your acceptance or denial to the program.

Applicants for the Veterinary Assistant program will receive a letter in the mail following their testing date, notifying them of their acceptance or denial to the program.

Information and Application Sessions
Information and Application sessions are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 9:00am and the 3rd or 4th Friday of each month at 4:00pm (unless otherwise noted- see the schedule below ).
