Technician Certification Exam Content Outline Revised

The Certification and Registry Board Committee has been hard at work updating the content outlines for the certification exams. Rather than the three previous domains (Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare; Facility Administration and Management; and General Knowledge), the new content outlines now combine this information into two domains: Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and Facility Administration and Management.

Approximately 80% of the ALAT and LAT exams will cover Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and approximately 20% will cover Facility Administration and Management. The LATG content outline is comprised of the same two domains: Animal Husbandry, Health and Welfare, and Facility Administration and Management. However, unlike the ALAT and LAT exams, the questions are divided evenly between the two domains.

Although the exam content outline has been revised, please be aware that the exam questions for the ALAT, LAT, and LATG certification levels have not changed. The study materials that have been available to order through our Bookstore and through the AALAS Learning Library are still current.
