HOW TO APPLY FOR AN ORIGINAL ATHLETIC TRAINER LICENSE
These instructions apply if the applicant is filing for an original license as an athletic trainer by examination. If the applicant holds a current license in another state, please see the instructions for applying by reciprocity.
Requirements
Please submit:
- Completed, signed, notarized application form (please answer all the questions).
- Official transcript showing degree conferred and date must be sent directly from the school to the Board office.
- If the applicant has not yet graduated, a letter from a school official stating the applicant has completed graduation requirements and the expected date of graduation.
- Verification letter from National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification (NATABOC) sent directly to the Board office.
To obtain a verification letter, contact NATABOC at (402) 559-0091. The NATABOC web site is www.nataboc.org/ATC/verifications. The mailing address is:
NATA Board of Certification
4223 So. 143rd Circle
Omaha NE 68137-4505
If the applicant submits 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
An applicant 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 NATA examination. While under temporary licensure in a clinical setting, the applicant must practice under the direct supervision of a Delaware-licensed Physical Therapist (PT). While under temporary licensure in a non-clinical setting, the applicant must practice under the direct supervision of a Delaware-licensed Athletic Trainer (AT).
To apply for a temporary license, the applicant's supervising PT or AT, whichever
applies, should complete a Statement of Supervising Physical Therapist
or Athletic Trainer found under "Forms" and
send it to the Board office. If the applicant has not yet passed the NATA examination,
the applicant should submit a copy of a letter showing that he or she is 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 pro-rated 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.
