Candidates, who have the intention to be educated to Toxicologist, are advised to first find an NVT acknowledged Educator. The NVT educator is responsible for the education of the candidate and together with the candidate creates a personal education plan proposal and assembles an educationcommittee. The education plan comprises both a theoretical- (see below) as well as a practical component, the latter which consists of gaining expert knowledge in the fields of toxicological research or applied toxicology. Both components required to be tailored to the requirements defined by the CT to be applicable to the education to Toxicologist. The NVT educator puts the education plan forward to the Registration committee Toxicology (RT) for approval. Following approval, the candidate is registered as "Toxicologist in Training" by the RT.
To fulfill the theoretical component of the education, the modular programme of the Postgraduate Education in Toxicology (PET) offers a complete course package existing of compulsory and optional components. Since the various PET courses are organized at an interval of once every one or more years, careful organization of the personal education plan is needed.
The requirements for registration as toxicologist can be found on the website section on registration and re-registration.
