If I am earning 84 continuing education units in Levels 1 through 3, why do I only receive 36 credit hours when they are converted to academic credit?

The course modules in Levels 1 through 3 of DEVTP have a unique structure in order to expand the options available to veterinary hospital employees. The seven course topics are in alignment with small animal requirements for accredited veterinary technician programs but do not cover large animal requirements. These course topics are each divided into three levels. Large animal topics will be covered in Level 4 DEVTPcourses in order to fulfill accreditation requirements. The continuing education units are allocated to fit this structure. While Level 1 through 3 course modules contain the same content as the in-residence courses, the credits do not match on a one-for-one basis. In order to convert CEUs to credit, you must complete other requirements. See the OCCI requirements and the DEVTP overview for more information.
