“I was working as a veterinary assistant and I knew a lot of the procedures, but until I got the education to support my experience, I couldn’t always grasp why we do things the way we do. It has really given me a greater understanding by having the knowledge and theory behind what we do.”

“I do medical work with the animals, equivalent to the job of nursing in human hospitals. I love being able to apply what I learned in school to my field. Cedar Valley’s Vet Tech program prepares you to work, and I use my education from there every day on the job.”
