Avian Certification
The Pet Advocacy Network is currently conducting a comprehensive review of our Avian Certification curriculum with the help of avian experts, retailers, breeders, veterinarians, and hobbyists from across the industry. We appreciate the time and expertise these volunteers have contributed to help us modernize the program.
We are excited to announce that our new and updated Avian Certification program will launch on September 9, 2026. Please return to this page at that time to register and access the new examination.
Current Certification Holders
If you currently hold a Pet Advocacy Network Avian Certification that expires at any time during calendar year 2026, your certification will automatically remain valid through December 31, 2026. No action is required on your part.
New Certification Applicants
If you have never held a Pet Advocacy Network Avian Certification and are interested in becoming certified, please return on September 9, 2026 to register for our newly updated training and certification exam.
Thank you for your patience as we work to provide an updated program that reflects current best practices and the expertise of the avian community.
