I loved attending the distant learning vet tech program. I felt extremely well prepared to take the VTNE once I graduated and did pass the VTNE on my first attempt. I loved that this school had teachers available to answer questions. I also appreciated the semester based schedule and the deadlines on assignments and exams. I felt that was nice to help keep me on track with the program. The video portion of the program was difficult, but it is extremely doable. I am an extremely motivated person and I had an... Read More extremely supportive group of coworkers that helped get me through. Against advisement, I took two video courses at a time and passed all of the video courses on the first attempt (did not need to repeat any.) I felt the rubrics were well written out and I made sure to reach out to my instructors daily and weekly with questions. They were more than happy to help answer those questions and even provided some checks on my tasks to make sure something was done correctly. Were things stressful-yes, they were! But I made sure to put in the time and effort to follow the rubrics and reach out for assistance when I needed it.

I loved this program for the first year I was taking it doing online courses. But after the first year I began video courses. These are unbearable. They use the excuse that students have to retake these classes in order to pass. Which is something that is ridiculous to even say. It has caused so much conflict at my current clinic I don’t even want to be there anymore. But that’s not an option because my graduation date has gotten pushed back another semester for a 3rd time. I could understand if I was actually... Read More failing the video task because i really didn’t know what I was doing. But it’s failing for things that aren’t on the rubric or you walk out of frame once and they claim that they now can’t prove it was you in the video. Or even turning off the camera after a sterile task their expectations are completely unrealistic. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT ATTEND. Future vet tech students, please save yourself the headache and the stress. My mental health is only continuing to plummet. These course will continuously Make you question your worth and your ability to be in this field. I have been told by so many people I work with that my skills and knowledge are up to par. I’m so tired of this school dragging me down. I just want to be done.
