History

Veterinary Technical Institute (VTI) is a private postsecondary school founded in Naples, Florida in 1995, and licensed by the Commission for Independent Education, Department of Education. The school currently offers Career Training Diploma Programs for small animal technicians and veterinary receptionist, Staff Training Programs for clinics, Continuing Education Seminars for specialized technician training, a bookstore, and an Advanced Practice Management Forum for veterinarians and office managers provided through a valuable combination of the Veterinary Practice Today Newsletter and our online Webinars conducted by proven veterinarians successful in the field.

VTI was created to satisfy a real need in the community for alternative vocational education, the employment of capable individuals interested in developing a career in the veterinary field, and veterinary clinics wanting to hire or develop professionally trained staff. Thus, the school based the design and format of its programs on cooperative solutions to unemployment, the lack of skilled professionals in veterinary clinics and hospitals, the accelerated interest of people to work in the animal health care field, and the demand for unique vocational training. Vet clinics need qualified staff and people need careers; VTI strives to benefit each.
