A licensed veterinary technician is someone who has met the requirements for licensure as a veterinary technician in a specific state. As each state sets their own laws and requirements regarding veterinary technicians, the exact details vary from state to state. Generally a person is required to have 2-year degree in veterinary technology from an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program and then to have passed at least the Veterinary Technician National Exam and usually some sort of state exam as well.
To find out the specifics for a certain state, you would need to review the statutes governing veterinary technicians in that state or check with the state licensing board.
