US-Educated PT/PTA Applicant — New Graduate

Education Verification


Certificate of Completion (P1E)

The P1E certifies that you have completed all didactic and clinical training and internship required for graduation. This form must be completed by your school after you have completed your program requirements for graduation; it cannot be post-dated.

Because you cannot submit the P1E until after you complete your program requirements, but may apply for examination prior to program completion, you may submit your completed P1E after submitting your application.

There are two ways the P1E may be submitted to PTBC:

  • Your school may email the P1Es directly to PTBC.
  • You may obtain your P1E from your school and mail it to PTBC. If you send your P1E, it MUST be in a sealed envelope from your school.
