Veterinary Receptionist Program

Our unique program prepares you to become a veterinary assistant and medical office manager. Your combined veterinary medical receptionist skills will make you a critical part of any vet clinic or medical office. As a veterinary assistant you’ll work with animals every day, helping to care for their injuries and treat their illnesses. As a medical office manager, your day is all about keeping the administrative side of the practice running smoothly.

Salaries vary by employer, location, and experience. But experts estimate the average annual wage for a veterinary receptionist is between $21,170 and $30,460.*

Pretty easy. No specific skills or experience are required. Just be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate. Optionally, you can pass the CareerStep Pre-Training Assessment Test. Then, sign up for—and complete—our veterinary receptionist courses online. Finally, use our career assistance to help land your first amazing job in healthcare.

Good question. Certification is not required to work as a veterinary assistant or medical receptionist. But employers often prefer to hire well-trained staff. And professional training sets you apart from other job seekers. It also looks great on your resume, proves your passion, and helps open doors. Our veterinary receptionist courses prepare you for an industry-leading credential, the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA). We even pay for your exam with a test voucher, a $117 value.
