New Re-Certification Guidelines

The NTCB no longer requires that members send documentation of CEUs. As long as applicants sign the form being submitted, list courses and CEU awards received and indicate on the re-certification form they will keep proof of course completion and CEU awards for two (2) years, the NTCB is not required to request nor keep on file any supporting physical documentation.

These guidelines have been adopted by The Higher Learning Commission and endorsed by the U.S. DOE. The Natural Therapies Accreditation Commission (NTAC) adopted these guidelines on March 27, 2009.

Certification Fee & CEU Changes

A recent communiqué from the Natural Therapies Accreditation Commission (NTAC) indicates that there is a strong movement in the accreditation field to institute annual certification based on annual continuing education requirements. NTCB believes that within a year or two this will be mandatory. Therefore, the NTCB Executive Board, President and Executive Director adopted one year renewal requirements and announced a change in the certification fee/renewal schedule effective January 1, 2009:

$65.00 - Certification/year - 20 CEUs
$25.00 - Additional Certification
$200.00 - NTCB Examination- On-line Test
$25.00 - Renewal Late Fee
$25.00 - ISF Fee
$95.00 - BCIA/Other Reciprocal (1st year only)
$65.00 - Reinstatement Fee (+certification fee) if more than one year past due

All other types of certification may use the current application form. Please indicate on the form that this is for renewal and include your Certification number printed on your certificate.

Note: You must contact the NTCB within 3 months of applying if your certificate did not arrive. Those inquiring after 3 months are requested to pay a $25.00 service fee. It is the responsibility of the member to keep the NTCB informed of their current mailing address and other contact information.
