Get the Flash Player to see this player.

The California Veterinary Medical Board has recognized that there are many highly qualified, experienced Veterinary Technicians that should have the opportunity to demonstrate their competency as a veterinary technician by sitting for the state licensing exam. This Limited Term Eligibility Window (LTEW), will allow technicians with 5 years of clinical experience and at least 24 hours of training (RACE approved), to take the state veterinary technician exam and become Registered Veterinary Technicians.

ACT(Animal Care Technologies) recognizes that there are key aspects to the licensing exam that simply working in a veterinary hospital might not expose one to. That is why ACT has developed a program that combines hundreds of videos, selected readings and dozens of practice exams into a course that will provide the applicant the very best chances of passing the exam.

Progress Report Screen-shot:

The course is delivered entirely online to fit with the busy schedules most veterinary technicians lead. This 100 hour course can easily be completed in 12 weeks and will provide the candidate with tremendous confidence going into the actual examination. The course materials are weighted to the specific areas focused on in the exam. This means you spend your valuable time studying just the important topics. For those of you with limited equine exposure, there is course material to help you prepare.

ACT has also put together one of the premier practice test sites that will allow you the opportunity to do numerous practice exams with questions very similar to those found on the test. With a test bank of thousands of questions, you will be getting repeatedly exposed to key knowledge points. As you take your practice exam each week, you will be able to see your results visibly improve, instilling the confidence you need to embark on this seemingly overwhelming task.

You are required to complete at least 24 hours of approved instruction prior to actually applying for the licensing exam. ACT makes this easy by tracking your study time online. When you’ve completed your initial 24 hours, ACT will prompt you to sign up for the licensing exam. You have until December 31, 2009 to complete the 24 hour prerequisite and apply for the exam.
