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 have 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- Proctored in Class
$250.00 - NTCB Examination - Proctored Locally
$250.00 - NTCB Examination - When Online Testing Becomes Available
$25.00 - Renewal Late Fee
$25.00 - ISF Fee
$95.00 - BCIA/Other Reciprocal

Members who hold 3 year renewals due by 12/31/08 may renew at $150/3 years ($175 if past due) if recertification is received before November 15, 2008 as we transition to the one year renewal process. Starting January 1, 2009, all new and current re-certifications will be renewed for one year.
