VCH manual

The VNLA offers a VCH study manual. It is a 600+ page three ring binder and a resource that members use for reference long after the exam.

The manual includes questions. While the questions are in a format different from the exam, they are relevant. You need to understand the information, not memorize the questions.

Cost for manual

For VNLA members, a VCH manual is approximately $152. This includes tax and shipping. The total cost may vary ever so slightly depending on the ship-to zip code.

 For non-VNLA members, a VCH manual is $185 + tax and shipping.

Email info@vnla.org to order a VCH manual.
