Equivalency Form
Persons wanting to pursue equivalencies for any requirement for certification allowed under North Carolina Law are encouraged to complete the following form and forward any supporting documentation to the board. Cases for equivalency are considered on a case by case basis and individual requests will be responded to in writing. Obtaining preliminary approvals are also encouraged before completion of equivalencies. For example: persons can request approval for an education equivalency before completing or even enrolling in desired education. Persons have also found our FAQ page (link at the top of the page) helpful when considering equivalencies, especially such questions as #8. We encourage consultation with approved supervisors or certified persons when submitting equivalency requests.
(Please note that written responses may not be processed until the next board meeting)
