AVECCTN Application

 

2026  Applicants! Application, Part A and B and all Instruction documents are available below.

2026 AVECCTN Application Process

The application includes a Pre-application (Part A), starting November 1-March 31 due on March 31, and the remaining Final Application (Part B) will be due October 31 for all those that pass the pre-application phase.  We continue to increase our numbers of applications each year, and dividing this application will make the whole process much smoother.

Application links are found at the bottom of this page.

PRE-APPLICATION (PART A)

The Pre-application will ensure all applicants are actually ready to credential as a VTS(ECC).  In the pre-application we will evaluate:

  • Work History/Hours ** Note ALL hours must have been complete prior to starting the application process.
  • License history **Licenses must be provided for ALL licensed years during the work experience period, with no breaks in licensure.
  • Continuing Education ** Note ALL hours must have been complete prior to starting the application process.
  • References (2 Letters)

The pre-application is filled in online and documentation submitted from November 1 to March 31.  Applicants will be notified by April 30 if their pre-application is accepted.  If your application is not accepted, you may have the option to appeal.  Only those accepted applicants can submit Part B. 

FINAL APPLICATION (PART B)

The Final Application will include the Skills List, Case Logs and Case Reports.  Cases are collected and Skills are signed off for the entire year November 1 to October 31.  You should start logging cases as soon as the application opens.  Case Reports should be written based on cases seen during the year long period.  Note, you may want to wait until your pre-application is accepted before beginning to write your reports, however you should be collecting possible cases for reports during the pre-application phase.
