Tech Certification Information

Vermont implemented a private voluntary certification plan that took effect January 1, 2002. This certification plan has been endorsed by the VVMA and is administered through the VVTA. Certification is voluntary and non-regulatory, but provides the opportunity for technicians to achieve a higher professional standard as well as to meet reciprocity requirements for credentialing in many other states. Requirements for certification in Vermont include that the applicant be a graduate of an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program and have passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam (passing score as determined by the national Veterinary Technician Testing Committee).
