Veterinary assisting is an entry-level position and special education, training or certification is typically not required. There are veterinary assistant training programs and the time required to complete them ranges from a few weeks to a year. However, many of these programs are not viewed as respectable by veterinarians. If special training is sought, veterinary assisting programs offered through a college with an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program or that is approved by a veterinary medical or veterinary technician association should be selected.
You can get an associates degree in Veterinary Technology at Yakima Valley Community College and Pierce College in Washington. You can also get a certification as a veterinary assistant online at http://drf.veterinaryschools.com/Animal-Behavior-College-VAP/
