Program Overview
Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of animal care with our one-year Ontario College Certificate Veterinary Assistant program, specifically tailored to provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to assist other veterinary professionals, such as Registered Veterinary Technicians and Veterinarians. This program is an excellent fit for those passionate about animals, and we highly recommend prior experience with animals through pet ownership, volunteering, or working in animal facilities.
The program will equip you with skills for safely handling and restraining various large and small animals, animal grooming techniques, and basic diagnostic techniques through laboratory procedures and physical observation. You will also learn surgical support techniques, shelter animal care, and office and client relationship skills.
One of the unique aspects of our program is the humane approach to animal-related education. We use simulation, advanced models, and true-to-life scenarios to focus on skills development. This innovative approach allows students to learn, practice, master skills, and apply their knowledge without any risk to actual animals. To ensure a well-rounded learning experience, the program includes hands-on laboratory practice and a work placement in an animal care facility. This practical experience in your second semester will reinforce your learning and prepare you for a fulfilling career in veterinary or other animal care settings. Your journey towards becoming a proficient Veterinary Assistant starts here.
For those interested in continuing their studies in the Veterinary Technician program, pathways to help you achieve your goal are available to qualified students.
