Question: How do I become approved for the Administrator-In-Training (AIT) program?

Answer: An applicant must submit an application for licensure to the Board, along with a letter from the preceptor(s) and the AIT outline for each preceptor. When all necessary supporting documentation such as college transcripts and occupational and administrative background information has been received, the application will be considered by the Board. The applicant will be notified whether the AIT program, preceptor(s), and outline(s) have been approved. AIT programs are approved in intervals of six months, nine months, or twelve months.

Question: How do I become approved to sit for the exam?
