"This isn’t my first time studying online. But so far, all my experiences have been so boring. My attitude towards online learning changed so much with this course. I learned so much about caring for animals. Now I’m going to be a vet assistant and NOTHING can stop me! Thank you so much for the knowledge, motivation and the constant support!!" - Gina
"I’ve had dogs since I was nine years old. I was always good with them, but I didn’t really know what to do with that ability. This course helped me develop that skill to something that I can use professionally. It taught me so much about animal health and I am now on the path to become a vet assistant." - Ron
