The Vermont Veterinary Technician Association invites you to:
RECOVER Basic and Advanced Life Support Certification Registration with Beth Kennett
The annual RECOVER CPR in-person simulator training will be held Sunday May 18th, 2025 8am – 2pm, in the large conference room at BEVS (1417 Marshall Ave Williston). There will be one session annually with 12 spots. There will be a cost this year of $175 per person for the in-person session. Online training cost is separate.* Once signed up you will receive more information regarding the session when we get closer to the date.
Beth Kennett BS, CVT is a full-time Neurology Veterinary Technician at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists in Williston, Vermont. She has worked in veterinary medicine in Vermont since 2013, starting as a kennel attendant, and progressing from general practice to a technician in emergency and critical care, and now neurology at BEVS. She earned her associate’s in Veterinary Nursing from the Purdue University Distance Learning Program in 2022 and her bachelor’s in biology and animal science from the University of Vermont in 2014. She has been a RECOVER Certified Instructor since January 2020, and loves teaching CPR. She and her husband share their home with a motley crew of pets and one tiny human.
*To participate in the in-person training you will need to complete the Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) Courses at least ONE WEEK before the in-person session. These courses take about 8.5 hrs combined and are RACE-approved. The in-person sessions take about 5-6 hours total and are also RACE-approved. That’s 13+ hours of CE! If you have not completed your online training by the deadline you will not be able to participate in the in-person training. The online cost is $80 for staff and $99 for veterinarians. Use the code Workshop20 to get 20% off the online cost. Visit How Certification Works for more details.
**If you have not completed the online training by the deadline your spot may be given to someone else.
Recertification:
If you have already done the in-person certification you do not need to repeat it. However, it is recommended to repeat the in-person because RECOVER released Updated Guidelines in 2024. Online certification only lasts 24 months, so please make sure you are up to date before attending the session, if you are out of date, Beth will not be able to certify you in person.
Unable to do the in-person training?
If you are unable to attend the in-person training I still recommend doing the online course, it is an excellent training tool and a great way to get some CE and a certification!
