For all Certification Applicants:

Once your application enters the review process, no information about your application will be given verbally.  Please do not call the MCB office to inquire about the progress/status of your application.  Notice of deferrals, denials, personal interviews, appeal outcomes and scheduling of the oral will be issued in writing from the committee or Board.

The MCB reserves the right to verify any certification documentation.

Deferral

If the committee finds something unclear or incorrect in the application, they may defer the application for more changes or more information. The committee may ask you to come in for a personal interview if there are a number of unanswered questions that are best answered in person.

If you are deferred, you’ll receive a letter within 2 weeks after your application was reviewed explaining what you need to supply and a 30 day deadline to complete it. Your response will then go to the next peer review committee meeting.  If the committee approves your response, you will move on to the oral interview.

Denial

If your application was found to contain insufficient qualifying experience, education and training, core function training or evidence of a lack of knowledge in a specific area, you will be denied certification. If you are denied, you’ll receive a letter within 2 weeks after your application was reviewed describing the areas your written application fell short of meeting the requirements. You will be given 60 days to appeal the denial.

APPLICANTS MUST KEEP A COPY OF THEIR COMPLETED APPLICATION
