NCCT may accept outside continuing education and/or college coursework towards the recertification requirements. Policies and procedures for submitting outside CE coursework follow.

1.   Use the Application for Outside CE Approval Form to submit documentation of completion of outside CE courses. Click here to view/print this form.

2.   Submit a copy of the certificate of completion for each CE course. The certificate must include the date, program title, agency accrediting the program (PACE, AMA, AAPC, etc.), number of CE credit hours earned, and a signature of an approved program official.  Do not send original documents. If you are submitting college coursework, submit a copy of your transcript.

3.   Submission of the form and documentation does not mean that the CE coursework is automatically accepted for NCCT recertification credit. This information will be reviewed and you will be contacted regarding acceptability. 

4.   Individuals requesting recertification credit for outside CE courses must still pay the annual NCCT recertification fee.

5.   Submit the Application for Outside CE Approval Form with the NCCT recertification application and recertification fee.

6.   Submit all documentation at one time.  In other words, do not submit documentation throughout your renewal cycle.

7.   If the outside CE course CH does not equal 14 CH, you will need to make up the difference with NCCT CE courses.
