How many years of college does it take to become a vet tech?

It depends on the requirements of your state. I was a Vet Tech for over 34 year & got my license in 1974. At that time in CA, you had to work for a Veterinarian for at least 3 years & have them verify this. You then could challenge the test or go to 2 years of college at a special college that offered these courses. Now I am in OR and they are open to folks challenging the test. Normally you go to a 2 year college. Check with your state.
