"Our mission revolves around providing the education students need to improve their job prospects, and with this new program, students can be trained and working in just 2 to 3 months of part time study."

The course provides 150 hours of curriculum, hands- on externship opportunity, covering material such as examination room and office procedures, communication and client relations, and small and large animal nursing.
"We work closely with students to help them explore a variety of paths when they are considering a new career," said Kary Connolly, Associate Client Manager at MK Education. "Through these discussions with thousands of individuals, we identified a need for this training program, and we are excited to help our students who have a passion for working with animals turn that interest into a career."
The class will begin on September 13, 2016 and run through February 3, 2017. Tuition includes lab fees and externship placement.
