This one-year, on-campus certificate, delivered across three terms, prepares students for administrative and customer-facing roles in veterinary practices. Coursework covers office administration, customer service, and foundational veterinary medicine skills, taught by instructors who are Registered Veterinary Technologists. Students work alongside Veterinary Technology Diploma students, gaining exposure to real animal hospital operations, and the program includes an industry practicum component. A two-credential pathway allows Veterinary Technology Assistant graduates to enter directly into Term 2, earning both credentials within one year. Multiple intakes are offered across the year, including Fall, Winter and Spring starts. Graduates gain the reception, client communication and basic veterinary support skills needed for front-desk and administrative roles in veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. The credential is structured across three terms, combining classroom instruction with practical exposure to clinic operations.
