Veterinary Assistant Classes Offered

McHenry County College is offering a Veterinary Assistant program with classes offered from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning Feb. 2 through June 1.  Classes take place in room D154 at the college, 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.

Veterinary assistants work with veterinarians in private practice, animal shelters, animal control facilities, pet stores, kennels and veterinary drug companies. With pet ownership on the rise, veterinary assistants are in great demand and veterinary assistants have been identified by the U.S. Dept. of Labor as one of the fastest growing professions.  This is a great opportunity for those seeking a new career or a side job.

The class will include a 30-hour externship to be completed outside of classroom hours. Course fee is $2599. For more information contact: Ruth Kormanak, at (815) 479-7879 or at rkormana@mchenry.edu. To register, call (815) 455-8588 and reference class ID: QVT C01 003.
