Verification of Certification

The New Jersey Veterinary Technicians & Assistants (NJVTA) maintains a directory of certified individuals. Employers or background check agencies seeking to verify a technician’s certification status can refer to this directory. Please note that, due to the voluntary nature of certification in New Jersey, the NJVTA cannot provide detailed background information beyond confirming certification status.

Note: The NJVTA does not issue certificates directly to employers. Members are responsible for providing proof of their certification to their employers. If a member is unable to access their info hub, they can contact us using the link here:

Committees

In association governance, committees are volunteer groups that focus on a particular area. We have further defined these policies and procedures in our Bylaws (e.g. appointment, terms, eligibility, etc.). In addition to day-to-day operations, they also oversee significant initiatives such as legal, educational, and membership matters.
