The evaluation for animal health technician training institutions is a system that comprehensively reviews curriculum, faculty, and practical training environments, granting either provisional or full three-year certification. Newly established departments first receive a one-year provisional certification and may be awarded full certification (three years) in the future.
Jeon Jiyong, President of Kyungbok University, stated, "We will develop the Department of Companion Animal Health into the nation's leading animal health technician training institution, taking the lead in improving companion animal health and welfare as well as advancing related industries."
