At Utah Career College, we focus on providing high-value training that helps students achieve their personal goals. Testimonials of our veterinary technology graduates confirm that small class sizes, instructors with professional experience and hands-on practice with live animals prepare students for professional success.
Vet Tech at UCC compared to a university program
“I selected the Vet Tech Program at Utah Career College because it fit my personal goals and objectives. The program has helped me build more confidence in myself and to become more outgoing. I have attended another college in the past but it was nothing like UCC. At UCC, I had the opportunity to perform hands-on work and complete academic studies versus just sitting in a classroom. The program has enabled me to do exactly what I want to do in life – work in an animal setting where I will be content. I’ve achieved my goal because of personal determination and UCC.”
Nichole Orme, Veterinary Technician, Spring 2008 Graduate
Vet tech students learn to help the animals they love
“I chose the Vet Tech program because I love animals and being a Vet Tech brings me tremendous satisfaction. The text books have been great! The fact that my education was working with live animals was very beneficial to me and the animals. It’s important to have a college degree!”
Deborah “Wilma” Unck, Summer 2008 Veterinary Technology Graduate
Hands-on training helps students achieve their goals
“The Vet Tech program was great with extremely small sizes and very, very, hand-on. After reading we always had the opportunity for hands-on practice. The instructors are incredible. They make sure everyone understands the subject.”
Garrett Heyborne, Summer 2008 Vet Tech Graduate
“I enjoyed the Vet Tech surgery class because the hand-on experience was great! I received experience monitoring anesthesia and administering drugs to animals. The radiology class was superior. We actually were trained to use the x-ray machine and were trained by a specialist. The animal care we experienced was beneficial.”
Cynthia Wolfe, Vet Tech Grad, Summer 2008
Veterinary technology instructors provide the support students need
“The instructors were very informed and capable. They were patience and able to assist when extra tutoring was needed. The program caused me to have more confidence in my ability to speak to people and educate others regarding my vocation. I would recommend the Vet Tech program at UCC!”
Amber Fausett, Veterinary Technician, June 2008 Graduate
“I really appreciated the time that the teachers took with us to make sure we were understanding the materials being taught. They all want so badly for students to graduate and be successful in our profession.”
Kyla Ferguson, Vet Tech (AAS), 6/2008 Graduate
