The in-person certificate program is a combination of lecture and laboratory sessions over 1.5 days, following the theme of CAETA’s The 14 Essential Components of Companion Animal Euthanasia. Students will be provided proceedings, a certificate of completion, seal of excellence for marketing materials, and permanent access to the CAETA online library. Testing takes place online through our online testing platform. The test can be taken onsite after the completion of the program or taken within 1 week offsite. A passing grade of 80% is required to receive the certificate.

Our programs are offered multiple times a year. We limit each onsite training session to 50 participants to promote a more intimate learning experience. Everyone will have time to share case successes and challenges.

Our instructors are leaders in the field of end-of-life care. Combined, we have been training euthanasia techniques to veterinarians, technicians, and veterinary students for over 15 years. We have authored books on end-of-life care and bring real-world personal and professional perspectives to the coursework.
