VCA Teaching Materials

Anyone can register for a VCA or VCU exam. However, we do recommend that you first take a VCA course or VCU course that is being held near you. If you are not acquainted with any trainer then we can advise you on what action to take. If you would rather prepare for the exam yourself through a course of private study then click here for the options.
