The VTNE is a computer-based examination that Veterinary Technicians may take each year in summer, fall or late winter/early spring. The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) owns and administers the VTNE.
Note: See VTNE for information about the exam, including information for testing sites, dates of testing, and the VTNE Candidate Information Booklet.
The NAVLE is a 360-item computer-based multiple-choice examination and given twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall. Passing the NAVLE is a requirement for licensure to practice veterinary medicine in all licensing jurisdictions in North America.
The International Council for Veterinary Assessment (ICVA) provides standardized examinations for use by licensing boards as part of their veterinarian licensure process.
Note: The NAVLE replaced both the National Board Examination (NBE) and the Clinical Competency Test (CCT) in November 2000.
