Best Answer

Veterinary assisting is an entry-level position and most assistants are trained on the job. No state and the majority of veterinary employers do not require any sort of special training or certification to work as a veterinary assistant. There are voluntary education opportunities and the time to complete these varies from a few weeks to a year. The value of these training programs is variable.
