Member Testimonials
“I am a Primary Care Paramedic working in BC. When preparing for the exam, I was intimidated by the breadth of knowledge needed to prepare for the exam, but I followed the study guide and passed the test on the first attempt. If I can pass the certification exam, so can you!”
“Obtaining my CVAA(c) certification has helped me expand my knowledge and skills in vascular access procedures. It has given me more confidence and I believe it will help me to provide a higher standard of care to my patients. Studying for the exam allowed me to reflect on my knowledge gaps and strengthen my understanding of best practice in vascular access. Thanks to my CVAA(c) certification, I am now better equipped to navigate challenging cases and improve patient outcomes.”
“Having access to the Study Guide is amazing, and I am glad to be CVAA(c) certified! I recommend you utilize the educational resources and sample questions as you study. Be diligent, prepare yourself for a lot of reading, and write the test when you feel ready.”
“I used the Study Guide, mock test questions, and CVAA articles to study for the exam. I did find the exam was challenging but the Study Guide did help me to make the best choices during the exam.”
“Studying for the CVAA exam was a great review! It allowed me to brush up on some areas that I haven’t reviewed in a long time. Passing the CVAA exam has given me a new self confidence at work allowing me to advise, teach, mentor, and work knowing that my knowledge is current, and based on best practice and standards. It also has motivated me to attend more education sessions and continue learning in order to keep my certification and to continue learning.”
