All vet clinics train their veterinary technicians to some degree, but in many states you cannot be a "veterinary technician" with nothing but on-the-job training. In states where credentialling (licensing, registration or certification--depending on the state) of veterinary technicians is required a degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited or other accredited program is required in order to be credentialed as a veterinary technician.
