CE Requirements for Re-Credentialing with the NJVTA Updated July 15, 2019 The NJVTA credentialing committee will conduct random audits throughout the year, beginning in January 2020, to assure that CVTs are current on their continuing education requirements. CVTs are required to display proof of valid continuing education within 4 weeks of notice. Please retain all CE documents within the last 2 years to assure that you are prepared if audited. You are required to show 10 hrs./yr. or 20 hrs./2yr. CE certificates must be saved in preparation for random audits. Management, human resources and other types of CE may be submitted to a maximum of 50% of the hours needed. 50% (10 hrs/yr.) must be technician/scientific-type CE. If proof is not supplied, membership will be revoked immediately and a reinstatement fine will be charged. Extended lapses in credentials will be evaluated by the board on a case by case basis with adherence to current credentialing requirements. Please be aware that lapses in credentialing may affect your ability to transfer between states, as well as your ability to acquire additional certifications (i.e. VTS) Examples of acceptable CE include:
Examples of in-person-CE:
Online Resources: The NJVTA encourages attending meetings and conferences for in-person CE as much as possible for the additional benefits of networking and collaboration with your peers; however, the NJVTA understands in-person CE is not always feasible and will accept online CE for renewal. Ideally online CE would include a quiz that acknowledges your understanding of the material. Examples of providers: VSPN, VetMedTeam, Vetbloom, Fear Free, RECOVER, VetGirl 2.
