Veterinary Technician National Examination


General Information about the VTNE

The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) administers the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). It is given twice a year on the third Friday of January and June. The VTNE Candidate Information Booklet is available on the AAVSB website.

Applying for Board Approval to Take the VTNE

The Delaware Board of Veterinary Medicine must approve you to sit for the VTNE in Delaware. Therefore, you must first submit a licensure application to the Board. For information on the requirements for licensure, see New License. This procedure applies to both out-of-state and in-state residents who wish to take the VTNE in Delaware. You must submit your licensure application and all documentation, including payment, to the Board office by the deadlines listed below:

  • January VTNE - applications must be complete by the first Monday in November.
  • June VTNE - applications must be complete by the first Monday in April.

After the Board reviews your application, you will be notified whether you are eligible to take the examination.

  • Registering with AAVSB

    To register for the VTNE, you must contact AAVSB. You may register online at the AAVSB website. Or, you may call toll-free (877) 698-8482. Direct all questions about the VTNE registration process to the AAVSB.

    When you register with AAVSB, the Board office will notify AAVSB whether you are approved to take the examination. You will not be permitted to take the examination unless the Board has approved your application.
