What accreditation means
Every school on these pages is on the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) list of veterinary technology programs accredited by its Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA). Most states that credential vet techs require graduation from one of these programs before you can sit the VTNE; check your state guide for the exact rule. We list programs for information only: we are not paid by any school and do not collect inquiries.
