Such a great course

I really enjoyed both my courses I have taken with Loop Abroad over the summer. I did enjoy how I could work on my own time, making it so much easier since I have a bit of a busy schedule with everything I am doing to get ready for Vet School. Although I have a Bachelors Degree in Zoology, there was a lot of topics I did not know much about. I was just hired on as a Vet Assistant at the same time as I started the course which really helped me excel at work. The course was set up very efficiently and all the assignments felt to be informative and not just busy work. I truly enjoyed this course and would recommend taking it.

Helpful for current veterinary technician

This course provided a lot of insights into the small domestic animal practice of veterinary medicine. I am been a veterinary technician for two years now and while taking this course I learned so many new techniques when dealing with dogs and cats. The modules were put out weekly and had dissuasions about questions relating to the lectures. The lectures were led very well and the instructor was always very helpful. This course has helped me better understand the instruments, techniques, and terminology that goes into veterinary medicine. Highly recommended for current or upcoming veterinary technicians or veterinarians in small animal domestic practice.
