The mission of South Tech Veterinary Assisting Academy is to educate a diverse student population with the knowledge and skills necessary for a productive career in the animal industry.
​

Purpose
Students learn skills through academic instruction as well as hands-on experience.  Techniques are mastered through on-the-job training at local businesses (veterinary offices, groomers, etc).  Classes explore the role of animals in society, careers in the animal industry, safety, first-aid, animal behavior, lab work, animal hospital procedures, grooming, business management, employability skills, and other valuable topics.

Future
A graduate of this academy is prepared for employment in the animal industry with veterinarians, groomers, and a variety of other animal professionals , as well as continuing education for a Veterinary Technician degree, or ultimately, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
