HOW TO APPLY FOR AN ORIGINAL ATHLETIC TRAINER LICENSE
These instructions apply if you are filing for an original license as an athletic trainer by examination. If the you hold a current license in another state, see the instructions for applying by reciprocity.
How to Apply for Original Licensure
Please submit:
- Non-refundable processing fee by check or money order, made payable to "State of Delaware".
- Official transcript showing degree conferred and date, sent directly from the school to the Board office.
- If you have not yet graduated, a letter from a school official stating that you have completed graduation requirements and the expected date of graduation.
- Verification letter from the Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer (BOC) sent directly to the Board office.
To obtain a verification letter, contact BOC. The web site is www.bocatc.org. If you submit a letter from a school official, he or she must also submit the official transcript showing the degree conferred and date as soon as it is available. No permanent license will be granted until the transcript is submitted to the Board office.
Information About Temporary Licenses
You may apply for a temporary license to work in Delaware while awaiting permanent licensure. A temporary license generally remains in effect for a period of up to 90 days but will expire immediately if the applicant fails the BOC examination. While under temporary licensure in a clinical setting,you must practice under the direct supervision of a Delaware-licensed Physical Therapist (PT). While under temporary licensure in a non-clinical setting, you must practice under the direct supervision of a Delaware-licensed Athletic Trainer (AT).
To apply for a temporary license, your supervising PT or AT, whichever
applies, should complete a Statement of Supervising Physical Therapist
or Athletic Trainer and
send it to the Board office. If you have not yet passed the BOC examination,
you should submit a copy of a letter showing that you are registered
to take the examination.
Submit the temporary license fee with your application. A separate check or money order is preferred. This fee is in addition to the processing and examination fees. It is non-refundable.
Notification of Licensure
If the application for licensure is approved, the Board office will issue the license.
