Veterinary Technician

Sheridan College’s Veterinary Technician program is a pathway to a rewarding career working with animals in a medical capacity. Students learn from Registered Veterinary Technicians and Veterinarians and apply their learning with a field placement in a veterinary clinic.

Accredited by the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians, learners will be able to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam when you graduate.

Sheridan College strongly believes in a humane and caring approach to veterinary education, so we replace the use of live animals with manikins for teaching purposes whenever possible. Using manikins, students fine-tune their skill dexterity in procedures ranging from bandaging to catheter placement and intubation. Apply learning to live animals while in field placement each semester.

Students benefit from a high number of hours in field placement. Practicums take place one day per week and in two-week, full-time blocks. Students apply their learning with animals requiring veterinary care. This experience is key to building a professional skillset and is highly valued by prospective employers.
