PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Programs (REPs) are important for technicians seeking to earn PTCB credentials. To be eligible for our credentials, PTCB requires applicants to either complete a REP or earn equivalent work experience. REPs are required to attest that their curriculum meets our knowledge requirements for that particular credential.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PTCB requires applicants for the CPhT Certification to complete a PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Program OR equivalent work experience.
