Once you graduate from the Vet Tech Associate Degree program and become a CVT, LVT, or RVT in your state, there are many opportunities for continuing your education. Besides being able to move on towards a Bachelor's in Veterinary Technology, you could take the opportunity to become a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) through a NAVTA (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America) APPROVED academy. If you could pick an area/field to specialize/certify in, which would you choose and why?
Here are the links to the individual Academies:
