Equine Veterinary Assistant and Technician Certification Program Application
AAEVT On Line Certification Program wet lab sign off
http://aaevt.org/images/files/2010 courses VSPN.docPurpose: To provide training – basic to advance – to those employed by the equine practitioner and those in the equine veterinary profession. AVMA accredited programs do not focus on the academics, skills, resources, and training required for proficiency as an equine veterinary assistant or technician; and since these skills are needed by the equine practitioner, the AAEVT will provide a certification program for the equine veterinary community outside of the accredited AVMA programs. This certification is not offered in lieu of or intended to replace any certification, licensure or registration received by attending an AVMA accredited program and taking the National Technician Boards and/or State Practical Exam Boards. While a State or an AVMA accredited program may accept some of these AAEVT courses as part of satisfying or adding to their program, this certification program will not satisfy any requirements required by the AVMA to take the National Technician Boards.
