CERTIFICATION RENEWAL
- Certification fee is $25 every year, due by November 1st. There is a late fee of $25.
- Continuing education credits are due on even years. At least 16 hours of continuing education for every two years is required for renewal.
- Hours can consist of meeting, magazines, and on-line courses as long as they are AVMA, MVMA, AHHA, and RACE approved. However, only 4 hours can be from alternative continuing education such as on-line and magazine courses.
- New graduates of even years are exempt for the year of graduation.
- New graduates of odd years must have 8 hours of continuing education by the following November 1st (even year).
- CVT's with less than 16 hours of CE will be put on probation and will have until the next MVMA meeting to earn and report these hours. A late fee will be due at this time also. If a CVT fails to meet these requirements, they will loose their certification and be required to re-test and re-apply.
- Failure to pay the renewal fee on a timely basis, comply with other renewal requirements, or comply with continuing education requirements is grounds for the association to suspend or revoke a CVT's certificate.
