In NC there is no grace period for obtaining licensure and beginning practice or employment. If you are employed as an athletic trainer or practicing as an athletic trainer, you must be licensed.

NCBATE Mission
The North Carolina Board of Athletic Trainer Examiners is statutorily created and delegated with the authority to regulate the profession of athletic training in the interest of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. With necessary oversight by the government, the Board enforces standards and criteria set forth in statute and adds specificity through the promulgation of regulations. The effectiveness and efficiencies of the Board are enhanced by populating the Board with a combination of consumer members as well as those with the necessary expertise to address the complexities of the profession-specific issues. An administrative regulatory system provides consumers with an assurance of the qualifications of licensees and a means of enforcement for the benefit of the public.
The NCBATE office is also a place where North Carolinians can call with questions about a licensed Athletic Trainer, and inquire about licensed persons. It’s also a place where the public can turn to file a complaint against an Athletic Trainer that they may feel is in violation of the law or to file a complaint against a member of the public who is practicing or holding themselves out to be an “Athletic Trainer” or a “Trainer”
The NCBATE also provides services to individuals applying for licensure as well as those already licensed in North Carolina. The Board is the practitioner’s resource for any questions regarding NC’s laws and regulations and continuing education requirements.
Paola Learoyd, Executive Director can be contacted via telephone at 919-821-4980 or email at executivedirector@ncbate.org.
