First you need to make sure that any online program that you go through is AVMA accredited. This way you will be able to sit for the national exam and any state exam that maybe required to practice. The AVMA accredited programs require that you either be working at or volunteering a veterinary practice so that you can be mentored on the hands on technical portions. Most will require that someone in the practice sign off on your technical abilities and/or submit video of you actually doing the techniques. Like campus programs there are good and bad ones. You want one that has been in business for several years if at all possible. These programs should actually be teaching the student about veterinary technology, not just teaching them how to pass the exams. Personally (in my opinion) the best ones are through Purdue, San Juan, Cedar Valley, and St. Petersburg, We have hired and mentored techs that have gone through many programs and have found that the techs that have gone through these programs to be the most ready to go out into the work force. The hands on portion of the program is the most important. So you need to make sure that any practice that you mentor through is progressive in their utilization of technicians and in thier medicine.
