    Please note that some skills on here are physical tasks that need to be performed; some are covered and tested in classes as knowledge-based only, and some require the understanding of how a veterinarian performs the task (i.e. any surgery or euthanasia) and how the technician can assist. All skills practiced outside NCTA must be supervised by a veterinarian or licensed technician with the clinic where the student has a signed MOU with, and video recorded and submitted to the instructor whose class the skill appears in.
