How to Create Vouchers 

1. Log In
   • Log into your PTCB Account.
2. Navigate
   • Scroll to Manage Direct Billing.
   • Click the drop-down menu, and select which PTCB Product you would like to manage (i.e., PTCE, CSPT, Assessment-Based Certificates, or a PTCB Practice Tool).
     Note: Vouchers are only valid for the product they are created for.
3. Add Vouchers
   • Click Add Vouchers.
   • Scroll down and click Add Vouchers.

Important: Unassigned vouchers will remain on this page until a candidate redeems them. Once a voucher is redeemed it is considered assigned. Information about assigned vouchers is available on the Manage Vouchers page.

Key features of vouchers:

• • An account manager can create any number of vouchers at no charge and distribute them to eligible candidates.
  • The candidate enters their voucher number within the application. 
  • PTCB invoices on a monthly basis. 
  • After the candidate completes their credential exam or practice exam, the organization will be provided an invoice the month following the exam date. 
  • A 10% discount is applied to the standard $65 PTCE Practice Bank® price as an educator or employer enrolled in direct billing.
  • A $10 discount is applied to the standard $29 Pre-PTCE® exam price as an educator or employer enrolled in direct billing.
