Our Career & Technology Department is committed to the training and promotion of professional animal healthcare for the benefit of our students, the veterinary community, pet owners, and their animal companions. Through our CVA training program, our goal is to provide the knowledge and skills that are necessary for the veterinary assistant to become certified as well as showing them, through hands-on experience, how to apply their skills on the job, in turn, helping them to become an invaluable member of the veterinary healthcare team.

The Certified Veterinary Assistant Level I course will be taught based on the program outline provided by TVMA in order to prepare the student for the CVA-I exam. However, Plano ISD has custom-tailored the program in order to emphasize the practical skills that will be most valuable for the assistant to master and utilize in the veterinary clinic.
