Description
Most state and provincial agencies use the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE©) to evaluate the competency of entry-level veterinary technicians and require a passing score for a veterinary technician to be credentialed.
The AAVSB owns and administers the VTNE, but we do not credential veterinary technicians. For specific credential information, contact your state or provincial agency.
