If you are a clinic representative (such as a hospital manager) and would like to pay for one or more veterinary technicians’ CACVT credential renewal, review the information below and submit the prepayment form before the deadline.
Please read all the following information before submitting your prepayment form. Prepayments are for facility representatives that would like to pay the CACVT credentialing fees for their technicians directly to CACVT, eliminating the financial responsibility of their employee.

Please note, there will be no refunds for prepayment of credentialing fees/membership. This includes if a prepaid employee leaves your establishment, fails to submit a renewal application, fails to resubmit a denied application, or is not eligible for renewal at this time.
Manually verify the CACVT credential expiration date of each individual to confirm they are eligible for CACVT credential renewal this cycle. We recommend having staff submit their most recent CACVT credential certificate to you, as this directly outlines their expiration date for your records.
Create a list of your technicians needing renewal this cycle. An Excel document is preferred with their legal first name in the first column and last name in the second column. You will upload this information into the prepayment form.
Have a credit card available and move forward with completing the 2026-2028 Group Prepayment Form. Make sure to double count the renewals (+/- professional association memberships) needed before submitting to avoid errors.
Expect to receive an email from CACVT within 5-7 business days of your form submission. Inside this email will be a discount code and instructions for its use. If you do not receive an email or a copy of your invoice, see below FAQ section for additional trouble-shooting.
It is your responsibility to distribute this discount code to your employees to use at checkout when submitting their renewal application.
Once you give your discount code to the listed staff, they can move forward with submitting the required CE hours and renewal application. They will need to enter the discount code at checkout to reduce their fee to $0. No refunds will be offered to staff who do not use their discount code.
Be advised that there is a manual review process for all CACVT credential renewal applications. Once an application is approved, the technician’s credential expiration date will be updated. You can request a new CACVT credential certificate at this time to confirm their renewal status.
When you support your employees’ credential renewal, you’re maintaining compliance. When you add CACVT professional membership, you’re investing in their long-term growth and engagement.
For just $70 for the 2-year cycle, professional membership provides access to continuing education discounts, legislative updates, industry resources, and professional recognition that benefits both your RVTs and your practice. Explore the full benefits of CACVT membership here.
Consider adding professional membership to your employees’ renewal to maximize the value of your investment.
CACVT credential renewal will open in May 2026 and will end on June 30,2026.
Maintaining a CACVT credential is a required step for continued registration with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) to have the ability to utilize the legally protected titles Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), Veterinary Technician (VT), or Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS).
Membership with CACVT’s professional association is optional and not required for registration with DORA. Membership provides valuable benefits, professional development opportunities, and year-round support for Colorado’s veterinary technicians. Learn more about the benefits of membership HERE.
Yes! You can support your veterinary technician team by prepaying for their CACVT membership along with their renewal. To do this, just add in the same number of memberships as credential renewals* when filling out the Group Prepayment Form.
Since each staff member will receive the same discount code, all employees must receive the same prepaid items to reflect accurate discounting.
If you do not receive an email or a copy of your invoice after 7 business days and have already checked your Junk/Spam email’s folders, you can review your communications and download your invoices using the following steps:
It is each credentialed individual’s responsibility to add their CE to their CACVT CE log based on CACVT’s CE Guidelines and submit their credential application before their CACVT credential expiration date.

No – Provisional Veterinary Technicians (PVTs) hold a provisional registration through DORA and are not CACVT-credentialed until they complete the requirements for a CACVT credential under their applicable pathway. Only CACVT-credentialed individuals should be included in CACVT credential renewal counts for group payment.
While PVTs do not have a CACVT credential to renew, they can be members of CACVT’s professional association. If you would like to cover the cost of membership for your PVTs, please contact CACVT’s Membership Director, Jen Steckline about next steps – jens@cacvt.org.
