How do I complete this course and receive my certificate of completion? See the following page for step by step instructions to complete and receive your certificate. Are you a North Carolina board-approved provider? Our courses are accepted via reciprocity based on approval by another state’s physical therapy board. Are my credit hours reported to the North Carolina board? No. The North Carolina Board of Physical Therapy Examiners perform audits at which time proof of continuing education must be provided. What is my continuing competency reporting period? New PT licensees in NC are assigned to the continuing competence reporting period that begins on January 1 following the date of first licensure. Each PT licensee must accumulate 30 points and each PTA licensee must accumulate 20 points of continuing competence activities during the assigned reporting period to be eligible for license renewal. The points must include one mandatory point from a Jurisprudence exercise. There is a 25 month period to complete the continuing competence requirement. License renewal is EVERY year. Licensees renewing at the end of their reporting period must complete continuing competence activities no later than January 31 . Licensees renewing at the mid-point of the reporting period should report continuing competence activities completed during that year, then renew. Is my information secure? Yes! We use SSL encryption, and we never share your information with third-parties. We are also rated A+ by the National Better Business Bureau. Important information for licensees: Always check your state’s board website to determine the number of hours required for renewal, mandatory subjects (as these are subject to change), and the amount that may be completed through home-study. Also, make sure that you notify the board of any changes of address. It is important that your most current address is on file. What if I still have questions? What are your business hours? No problem, we have several options for you to choose from!
