I graduated from the vet tech program at Northern Virginia Community College in 2010. While at the program for 2 years I never learned how to place IVCs. Everything I learned experience wise when it came to IVC and blood draws was on the job experience.

Some of the best experienced people in the field have been unlicensed.

Furthermore, there are not enough licensed techs in the state of VA.  This will free up some of the LVTs time.. Obviously, training on the job will have to occur. But this pays off in the end.
