  I attended the Vet Tech Institute at Bradford School. It was the best experience of my life and also the most challenging. The staff and teachers are amazing. Everyone there cares about helping you succeed and reach your goal. I love that there were no long breaks from learning. Once you started, you just sprinted through so that you could graduate that much sooner. Dont get me wrong. Due to the fact that this particular program is accelerated, it is EXTREMELY challenging! I have always been able to do bare minimum and get good grades, but that does not work here! You have to study every day and do every homework assignment. Not only to pass the classes but to ensure that you are truly retaining the knowledge to later pass the VTNE. If you are not 100% committed to this as a career choice, then you will not make it through this particular program. You should be absolutely sure that this is what you want or you're just going to waste your money. I knew that working with animals is what i wanted to do more than anything so no matter how challenging i found that material, i gritted my teeth and plowed through. As i said before, the teachers there are amazing and will help you with anything you need, if you ask. They have so many experiences to share with you and do their best to help you understand. They will even come in early and stay later if that is what you need. The on-site kennel of animals is another excellent resource that allows you to practice and hone the skills you learn and you can always enlist the help of your fellow class mates and teachers. I loved the class i graduated with. We were all different but everyone came together to help one another, whether it was with homework, studying for tests, or with skills practice. That may not be the case with every class but i was blessed enough to be with such a wonderful group of girls. Bradford school is not for everyone but if you are committed to working hard for the education you desire, want to learn from experienced and dedicated teachers, and working with other staff members who will do everything they can to help you with your financial aid or future career employment, then i highly recommend Bradford School. I am so glad that i made the choice to attend and cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for me!

  Being in my mid thirties, and a single Mom, I was hesitant about going back to school, it was the best decision I ever made. Hard work and dedication is needed for an accelerated program like Bradford offers, but the end result is worth it. The class sizes are small, and you and your class move together through the program as one unit. The faculty and staff are amazing. They truly care about you, not just to get you through the program. They start caring the moment that you walk in and apply for school. The library, although small, is an star asset on campus, and that's saying something because I hate libraries, or I did until now. Career services is amazing, helping you with getting a resume together, and assisting with job placement as well. Even though my college career is over, the career services department will always be there to help me with any future job placement that I may need. Basically, it's like the old TV show Cheers, everyone knows your name, they get to know you as an individual, and they are always happy to see you and assist. Bradford was the best choice for me, hope that this review helps you decide if it's right for you too!
