These include: \n\n500 hours of work experience under the supervision of a US DVM or LVT (or equivalent) \nMastering all required Level I material \nGaining and demonstrating the hands-on skills listed on the Skills Validation Checklist \nExam Application and Skills Validation Checklist completed and approved by the US DVM or LVT (or equivalent) \nSuccessful completion of the certification examination (70%) \nTo be certified under the TVMA program, the applicant must successfully demonstrate 100% of the required skills and competencies. Some of the required skills may not be regularly practiced in the clinic where the applicant has gained experience. However, it is the applicant's responsibility to develop all skills listed. For example, if the required skill states that the applicant has \"demonstrated the safe and proper method for placing a halter on a horse,\" and the clinic where the applicant works does not treat horses, the DVM or LVT who is validating this skill may make this determination by having the applicant describe how this process works and the steps one would take when performing this procedure. Once the supervisor is satisfied that the applicant understands how to perform the skill correctly, they may check the skill off the checklist, even though the actual horse was not available for demonstration."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.tvma.org/Education-Opportunities/CVA"}],"ceterms:offeredBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-e22a2491-5f28-4990-a168-4183d1f610a2"],"ceterms:inLanguage":["en"],"ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Well-established, high quality, formal educational programs exist to provide the education and training required by veterinarians and licensed veterinary technicians.
