Two of them you prepare and send by yourself

2- No License Download Form "No license"

For Forms 1 and 2, you can upload them to FCCPT online, not by mail.

The other two forms will be prepared and sent by your college, school, or faculty under its name.

Be careful the sender on the envelope will be the name of your college/school/faculty, NOT you.

3- Academic Credential Evaluation

Download the form "Academic Credential Evaluation "

4- Clinical Internship

Download the form "Clinical Internship."

Again, the sender will be your college/school/faculty, NOT you.

And Forms 3 & 4 will be sent by mail, not online. (together with the bachelor's certificate and internship certificate).

Step Two.

Create an account on NYSED. It's better to create it early, before FCCPT sends your file to NYSED.

Step Three.

Create an account on FSBPT. You will receive approval from FSBPT, and you can now register for the exam.

Then, FSBPT will email you an AIN, or "Alternate Identification Number," which is required to book a Prometric center reservation to attend the exam.

Hope to see this word soon: "PASS."
