Training organizations located outside the United States may apply to participate as an IBACTP® International Affiliate Training Partner.

The annual affiliation fee for an approved International Affiliate Training Partner is $5,000 USD Per Year.

The annual fee supports participation in the IBACTP® Affiliate Training Partner Program and the administrative, program, certification, branding, and partner-support infrastructure required to maintain an active international affiliation.

The fee is assessed annually for each approved International Affiliate Training Partner unless otherwise stated in a separately executed partnership agreement.

Organizations applying for International Affiliate Training Partner status must submit the $5,000 USD annual affiliation fee together with the completed Affiliate Training Partner Application. The affiliation application and payment are treated as part of the same onboarding process.

Important: We will not process an International Affiliate Training Partner application until we receive the required annual affiliation fee. Submitting an application form without payment does not initiate the formal partner approval process.

Organizations that require an invoice for internal procurement, finance, accounting, or payment authorization may request one before submitting payment.

To request an invoice, contact: admin@ibactp.org. The request should include:

IBACTP® will provide applicable payment instructions with the invoice.

An organization may represent itself as an affiliate only after receiving formal written approval and completing all required documentation.
