Hi Megan,
Welcome to Penn Foster! While Penn Foster doesn't have traditional homework assignments, there is plenty of different type of work you will be doing to help prepare you to become a Veterinary Technician. Yes, there is a lot of reading to be done, but that would be the case at any school. We make sure that by the time you graduate from this program, you are fully ready and prepare to become a licensed Vet Tech. One thing to keep in mind is that Penn Foster is a distance education school, so things may be done a little different compared to a traditional school (ex: homework assignments).
If you haven't already done so, I would highly suggest joining the Vet Tech Community page. There you can gain a lot of helpful information about the program. You can also connect with other students and instructors.
Best of luck with your studies!
Marie
