Biofeedback Certification by Prior ExperienceBIOFEEDBACK CERTIFICATION BY PRIOR EXPERIENCE Overview of Clinical Biofeedback Certification by Prior Experience **ALL APPLICANTS FOR CERTIFICATION BY PRIOR EXPERIENCE MUST BE LICENSED** This opportunity is reserved for a select group of licensed health care professionals who can demonstrate extensive education and experience in biofeedback and have served as leaders through their various contributions to the field. We recognize that these professionals have gone beyond the basics and should be expected to fulfill requirements that exceed our traditional entry-level certification process. Upon completion of these requirements, you will earn the designation of Board Certified in Biofeedback or BCB™. Requirements Applications for BCIA Certification in Biofeedback by Prior Experience are only for those who can demonstrate all the following:
Filing an Application Candidates may file an application at any time during the certification process. The signature area includes your agreement to abide by the BCIA Professional Standards and Ethical Principles of Biofeedback and follow the appropriate rules and regulations of your profession and state. To be accepted, applications must include: the signature, proof of current license to practice in a health care field in accordance with BCIA standards, and payment of the $150 filing fee. Fees Fees include $150 filing fee which must be paid at the time the application is submitted plus a $300 certification fee, a total of $450. The filing fee will be reduced to $50 if an applicant can document current enrollment in an advanced degree program at a regionally accredited academic institution in a BCIA-approved health care field. Total fees for current students in this category amount to $350. If this is your second BCIA certification (in addition to either BCIA Neurofeedback or PMDB), the total fees for dual certification are $250 ($150 filing fee + $100 certification fee). BCIA offers a structured fee schedule to suit the financial realities in different countries and regions. Please use this link to see if your country may use a different fee structure. All fees are non-refundable and must be in US funds and paid by check, money order, or credit card. If using a credit card, you may pay online. Validation Exam for CPE Candidates in Biofeedback **YOU MUST HAVE A VALID APPLICATION ON FILE BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE EXAM!** The exam may be taken at any time after approval of your application; however, we recommend it as the last requirement in the certification process. The examination is offered in English only and is based on the Blueprint of Knowledge Statements. The exam consists of 100 multiple-choice items sourced from the Core Reading List. The number of exam items from a blueprint area correspond to the number of hours in that rubric; the smaller the rubric, the fewer questions will be in the exam from that content area. For more information, please refer to Biofeedback Exam 101. You must complete the exam; however, because you are considered to be an expert, we are not asking you to take the exam with an anticipated passing score. You are considered a validator and we are using your expertise to validate current and new exam items.
