Subject: NCBPTE and Alternate Approval Pathway for Exam Eligibility

Dear Program Director,

The NC Board of Physical Therapy Examiners (NCBPTE), the physical therapy licensure board in NC, now participates in the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) alternate approval pathway (AAP) for exam eligibility.  So what does that mean for the schools and their students who are seeking PT/PTA licensure in North Carolina?



  *   The student applies to the NC Board of PT Examiners at www.ncptboard.org<http://www.ncptboard.org>.
  *   The Program Director creates the cohort with FSBPT and adds the students by end of year 1.
  *   The Program Director validates to the FSBPT that their students are on track to graduate (not any earlier than 150 days before graduation).
  *   FSBPT authorizes eligibility for the NPTE, and handles any special accommodation requests.
  *   ONCE THE STUDENT ACTUALLY GRADUATES the Program Director sends the Certification of Education form confirming the degree earned and the date the degree was conferred (see attachment), or the Registrar sends an official copy of the education transcripts to the NC Board of PT Examiners. Transcripts must include the degree earned information.  With either option, the documents can be sent together for all graduating program students.  NOTE: You do not need to send an education form prior to the date the degree is conferred.
  *   When the application is complete, it is forwarded to the NC PT Board for approval and licensure.

Please have students who are interested in applying for a physical therapy license in NC
contact angela.licensing at ncptboard.org<mailto:angela.licensing at ncptboard.org> with any questions or concerns about the licensure process, and cbc.licensing at ncptboard.org<mailto:cbc.licensing at ncptboard.org> with any questions related to criminal background checks.
