For any veterinary hospital that pursues top quality care for their patients, I highly recommend RVT graduates from the Maple Woods Veterinary Technician Program. This program possesses exceptional leaders & teachers that are passionate about the education of its students.
Every graduate that we have employed has high level technical, communicative, and teamwork skills. They are educated with the most up-to-date procedures, and empower the clinics that they work at to elevate their level of patient care. They are passionate about their work and advocate for their patients.
Since employing almost exclusively RVTs from this program, the workflow, communication, and care of our patients has sky-rocketed. These RVTs work alongside their practice managers and doctors harmoniously to reach a common goal.
I highly recommend the graduates of this program to any clinic in need of an RVT. When my clinic needs a new RVT team member, I will always consider graduates of this program first.

Veterinary technicians are the backbone of patient care, and my education at Maple Woods in the Veterinary Technology program gave me the skills and knowledge to succeed in any hospital setting.
The hands-on training and mentorship not only prepared me for the real-world, but were also instrumental in my acceptance into veterinary school and my journey to becoming a veterinarian.

The education and learning environment of the veterinary technology program at Maple Woods is unparalleled! Not only do they impart gold-standard knowledge and technical skills, but also model the important life skills needed to successfully integrate into any veterinary team and become a true leader in the field.
Since my first week as a student and in the years since, I have been consistently impressed with the quality of teaching as well as the staff's personal commitment to helping each student excel. There is truly no substitute for hands-on learning side-by-side with your peers and having instructors that can guide you in person and in real time.

“I entered the Maple Woods Veterinary Technology Program in 2017 after deciding to leave an unfulfilling career path. What a great decision that was!
Throughout the program, the instructors instilled valuable information into every class and also challenged me to think critically at all times. The program was thorough, hands on, fulfilling, and prepared me completely to enter the world of veterinary medicine as a competent and proficient registered veterinary technician. It was also fun!
I can’t say enough good things about the passionate teaching staff, high standards of practice, and compassion towards all animals displayed each day.”
Margo Shoopman, RVT
"The Maple Woods Veterinary Technology program not only provided me with the skills and knowledge that I needed for my career but it also fostered the confidence and professionalism that I needed to succeed in this field. The incredible support I received from my instructors is something that I feel sets this program apart from others that my colleagues have attended.
Following graduation I immediately found placement at my "dream clinic". Though it was an equine specialty practice and there was some nuance to the procedures specific to equine medicine, the foundation knowledge I had received helped me to accelerate in my position.
Ten years later I am now the practice manager at that same equine clinic and utilizing the skills every day that I gained from the MWVT Program."
