	Licensure

Licensure is not required to practice as a Veterinary Technician in the State of Florida but all graduates are encouraged to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) with the American Association of Veterinary State Boards and The Professional Education Service and the Florida Practical Exam (FPE) with the Florida Veterinary Medical Association. Beginning in January 2010, only graduates of AVMA-Accredited Veterinary Technology program will be eligible for the VTNE. Upon successful completion of these exams the graduate will be granted certification valid for two years. This certification will be maintained by completing the required continuing education credits (15 credits).

Successful completion of the MDC level two background check process or completion of a MDC nursing/health sciences program does not guarantee a graduate’s eligibility for participation in the professional credentialing process or for related employment. Credentialing agencies and health care employers may have additional eligibility criteria not required by an educational institution. Individuals who have been arrested or convicted of any felony crime during the last 15 years are strongly urged to inquire directly of the licensing board in the jurisdiction in which they intend to practice.
