A certified veterinary technician is a person who has proven a set level of knowledge and skill and been granted a credential by an agency. Certification is only one of the credentials that may be granted, and is typically granted by a private agency or group and carries no legal weight. Certification of veterinary technicians is commonly performed by either a veterinary technician professional association or a veterinary medical professional association in a state where legal credentialing of veterinary technicians is not required. In most states, veterinary technicians are required to be credentialed through a legal governing body such as the veterinary licensing board for the state. In these states the credential granted is usually "licensed veterinary technician" but may also be "registered veterinary technician."
No, the state does not currently require certification for veterinary technicians. However, it is recommended and the Montana Big Sky Veterinary Technician Association does currently certify veterinary technicians. http://www.mtbsvta.org/pb/wp_1b932eaf/wp_1b932eaf.html
