hi, i posted an earlier about becoming a vet assitant. Thankfully i did because i realized you DONT need a certificate to be an assistant so i decided to do the tech course at penn foster online because it works perfect for my schedule(i havent signed up yet though).From what ive researched this course requires two 9wk programs where u volunteer at clinics etc to get so many hands on hours.That is fine(unless i cant find a place that will allow me to do this).But i heard that one 9wk course has to be with large animals(horses) which may be hard to find AND that they want u to use manual xrays versus digital xrays(which i hear is all thats used now).So im wondering if anyone has completed this course through penn.I will call the school come monday to ask about these questions but thought i would check here.Ive heard both positive and neg things about the school so just looking for more thoughts from any of you! thanks
