Information About Applying
Completing the Application
Processing applications remains the utmost priority for ATCB. To ensure this process is not compromised
because of the remote work required during the pandemic by the National Office we have instated an new
application submission process. Applicants must provide the name and email for their Supervisors and
References. The National Office will contact these individuals on the applicants behalf.
If an education review is required, applicants need to upload their Coursework Verification form and
provide the name and email of the individual whom will complete their Verification of Practicum/Internship.
The National Office will contact these individuals on the applicants behalf.
• Applicants must create a new online profile at myatcb.atcb.org/Account/Login.
• The application fee is $125. The application fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Submission of an
application and fee does not guarantee the ATR will be granted.
• Applicants educated outside the United States need to complete a course-by-course and degree equivalency
review. The review must be conducted by either World Education Services (www.wes.org) or Educational
Credential Evaluators, Inc. (www.ece.org) and forwarded directly to your application via MYATCB. A review
by WES or ECE does not guarantee approval for the ATR, as these organizations review only for U.S.
equivalency and do not review according to ATR application requirements. Program and course descriptions
must also be submitted by applicants educated outside the U.S. All application materials must be submitted
in English and if these are not available in English, applicants must arrange to have an English translation
provided. Translations are accepted only from University Language Services
(www.universitylanguage.com) and must be uploaded to your application via MYATCB.
The Application Process
• Applications are reviewed in the order of receipt. An application enters the formal review process once all
application requirements are met-not from the date of application. Failure to complete all required items will
result in the need for additional reviews. Subsequent reviews can take up to eight weeks from document receipt.
• Official forms from the current year only will be accepted. Be sure you are using the most current forms, available
in this application handbook. All agreements must be emailed to applications@atcb.org or uploaded online during
the initial application process.
• If additional information is needed for the review, the ATCB will contact you via email with details regarding the
documentation needed and deadline for submission. ATCB reserves the right to request clarifying information as
needed.
• Following review of all application materials, results will be reflected on your MyATCB account. Please check
your MyATCB for application status.
• If your application is denied (incomplete/pending) after final review is completed, you are entitled to request an
appeal of the review decision. Applicants wishing to appeal must send a written request to appeals@atcb.org. The
request should include the reason an appeal is warranted and any information supporting your assertions. If you
appeal, this information will be reviewed by the appropriate standards committee to determine whether an appeal
is warranted, and if the committee deems it appropriate for appeal, the Board of Appeals will consider it.
