| The VTNE is now offered three times per year at a Prometric Testing Center. See the AAVSB website for more information. |
| Note that passing the VTNE does not automatically confer the title of CVT to a technician. An application must be submitted to the MVTA. |

At the end of 2005 the Veterinary Technician National Exam was sold by PES (The
Professional Exam Service) to the AAVSB (The American Association of Veterinary
State Boards). June of 2006 was the last time technicians who have not graduated
from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program could sit for the VTNE in
Massachusetts. This was a ruling done by the AAVSB, not the MVTA. We are currently
trying to work towards licensure in the state of MA. In doing so we will open up the
practice act to include a 3 year window in which technicians who have not graduated
from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program to sit for the VTNE. In the
mean time technicians who have not graduated from an AVMA accredited veterinary
technician program can go to Delaware and sit for the VTNE as they recently had
licensure passed in their state. You would first need to apply to the Delaware Veterinary
Technician Association to sit for the VTNE. Once approved, you would need to contact
the AAVSB to sit for the VTNE. Therefore, you can travel to Delaware, take the VTNE
and then have the scores mailed to the MVTA. You would then need to complete the
CVT Application and the rest of the criteria that is needed in order to become certified
in the state of MA. If you have more questions regarding sitting for the VTNE, please
do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

| Important Update: The AAVSB has informed us that prospective VTNE candidates who are not graduates of an AVMA accredited veterinary technician program must still apply to take the exam through one of the few states that still allows them to do so (e.g. Delaware). However, the candidate does not have to travel to that state and may sit for the exam at a testing center here in Massachusetts. All paperwork for the exam must still go through the permitting state. Once a passing score is achieved it will need to be transferred to Massachusetts. |
