Does the Penn Foster veterinary technician degree allow you to practice in California?

Penn Foster's veterinary technology degree program is American Veterinary Medical Association accredited, therefore accepted as an appropriate program by the credentialing board for veterinary technicians in California. However, just having a degree in veterinary technology from Penn Foster doesn't allow you to practice as a "veterinary technician" in California. You must have also passed the credentialing exams that the state requires and be a Registered Veterinary Technician in that state.
