dinga4ever Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hello, I'm preparing to send applications to FPGEC and ECE. The ECE application website tells me to send photocopy of pharmacy degree that was issued upon graduation, in addition to official transcripts and proof of degree. My university provides English versions of transcripts and proof of degree but I'm wondering if I have to have an English translation version of the pharmacy degree? Also does anybody applied after Apr this year and got accepted to sit Dec test? I'm wondering when I could take the test.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi Dinga4ever I've just sent my application to ECE and NABP last week. I've sent a simple photocopy of my diploma and I have made it translated in English but I'm not sure it was obliged. Try to call them if you want to be sure they will answer all your questions (I know for sure because I call them several times!!!). You can also email them but it will take more time. And now I will wait to see what's coming next:hmm: !!! Good luck. Fafy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafy Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi sorry for you about what happened. I had the same problem because I discovered the change in the procedure by chance on a forum. You need to send two copies of your transcripts and proof of degree in sealed enveloppes to ECE with the application printed from their website (you need to write down all your educational history from 6 years old to your pharmacy diploma!!!), a simple copy of your diploma and the non english documents' translations+credentials of the translator. The ECE will send your evaluation and the sealed enveloppes directely to the NABP. You will also receive an evaluation from them. Beside, you need to send the application form with fees, 2 photographs, and licensure/registration in sealed enveloppe to the NABP and an official copy of a photography identification (passeport,... be careful because it's brand new from the new application bulletin!) and of course, the translations if needed. I think that's it! I hope that helped you. Good luck. Fafy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga4ever Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks Fafy for the reply. I have some more questions.. 1. I got the application form (form100) from NABP before the Apr change, so can I still use the form? 2. What do you mean by "official" copy of photography identification? I have US driver's license, so can I just send the xerox copy of it or do I have to do something to make it "official"? 3. I got graduate degrees from US - do I have to enter that info to ECE website? Thanks, Hi Fafy, I thought the post didn't work but apparently it worked.. Another question is that the 2 sets of proof of degree and transcripts can be in one sealed envelop or not? And does the proof of license have to be in a sealed envelope too? Thanks. Hello, I called ECE and they told me that I can send a copy of diploma and a translation (done by me is okey). I was also told to send two transcripts in one sealed envelope and two proof of degree in one sealed envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi 1. I sent the form that I had before april. It's almost the same so I don't think it will be an issue. 2. Check on the new bulletin they put on the website. "Applicants must also submit a certified photocopy of a current photo identification, for example, a driver’s license, a state issued identification card, or a passport." page 3 paragraph "photographs. I think that every photocopy of official documents must be certified (I went to the american consular in France but check on the bulletin). 3. I don't know what is the graduate degree you mentionned so I can't help you. Try to contact them about this specific point. For my part, I mentionned eerything that lead me to the doctorate of pharmacy in France. About the sealed enveloppes: I've sent 4 sealed enveloppes to ECE (2 for the transcripts and 2 for the degree) and one sealed enveloppe to Nabp (for the licensure/registration). They need to be sealed by the proper institution (faculty and licensure or registration organisation where you get it). That's how I did but I'm not sure if it's the right way but my problem is that I already had a set of sealed enveloppes when I discover that I needed 2 so I just asked my faculty to make an other one. I hope it will be OK. On the bulletin they wrote to send 2 sets of transcripts and degree to ECE and that's it (because they will keep one and send the other one to Nabp). About the diploma I sent a simple photocopy of my diploma (you cannot send an official copy of it that's what my faculty told me because you'll need to send it in a diplomatic suitcase :whistle: !!!) and I think you can do the translation yourself because I think it's just for their records because Nabp even doesn't ask it. So do what they told you. Good luck again and don't hesitate if you have other questions. But again I just applied so I didn't get any approval or denied answer yet so I'm not sure if my way was the good one :crazy: . Fafy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga4ever Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks Fafy. I forgot to mention that ECE told me that I don't need to write about US degree since they are dealing with only the foriegn degree. They did answer my phone call! Do you know, by the way, a good (?) telephone number of FPGEC? I don't think that my licensure/registration will be sealed in an envelope (the bulletin doesn't specify it) so I want to call them and ask.. By the way, I don't the way you sent the document will be any problem.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You welcome. I was so lost like you a few days ago and it was so nice to have people to help and encourage. But now that I sent my application I don't want to think about it and I'll see if it was Ok or no and I have time to help others in return to all the help I got!!! People at ECE that take care of the Fpgee are very nice and they answer all your questions so don't hesitate and you can even let your phone number and they will call you back :tup: About your question on the phone number of the Fpgee, sorry but I didn't understand! Do you mean a phone number at Nabp? 1-847/391-4406 Your licensure needs to be sealed by the organization that takes care of it in your country (it was written on the last page of the bulletin you received with your application so I think it's still valid). Usually, your organization knows what to do if you mention that it's for the USA (in France they knew it). What I heard from others what that this paper is very important so be careful with it. Try to send everyting correctly at first time even if it takes you much more time but I think that your approval will be faster.

monaellakany Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 hi fafy, did u mean that napb will need only license & registration and other document is for ECE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 That's right. And they also need an official photo ID. The ECE will send the second set of documents to Nabp with their evaluation. That's what I understood but you can check on the new bulletin on the Nabp website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monaellakany Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 hi fafy, about all educational doccumet from 6 years old to graduation where did u read it ? coz i looked for it and i did not find any i can not believe their is more additionl papers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Mona when you'll fill the ECE form on the net you'll have to indicate your educationnal history (name of school, dates, town and degree earned if any). You don't need any paper it's just on the net don't worry. They will tell you exactly what they want. You can start to fill the form to see what you really need and you can save it anytime. They just want a simple copy of your diploma plus all the other documents already needed. Fafy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiPEBC Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi all, I want to give the dec exam too but trying to get a job so that I can pay the required application fees. Hopefully I will get a job soon. Life can be so tough! I have very good grades but unable to find any pharmacy to sponser me. But God is great and I believe He will help me and all of us. Best of Luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga4ever Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Welcome hiPEBC, Oh, you were trying to find a pharmacy to sponser you to get through FPGEC cert? That's an interesting thought.. Have you heard anybody has done it before? Good luck to you anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiPEBC Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi Dinga4ever, This was possible a few years ago when several of the big chains used to sponser in return that you worked for them for some years and in the place where they choose. Good Luck to you too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx56 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Have you received anything since you submitted your application to FPGEC, ECE? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hi I've sent everything almost 2 weeks ago and nothing yet. But I sent the enveloppes from France so it must be longer. But I asked for an update on my case by email at ECE and no answer. What about you? Fafy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelisa Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi guys: According to a NABP'S letter for my case status,they mentioned that my proof of license was not submitted according to the required procedures. The offical proof of your license must be submitted in an sealed envelop by the issuing body. But according to the bulletin in page19 for proof of license section which doesn't specify this sentence. It just says this document need to be submitted to the FPGEC either from the applicant or directly from the issuning body. So everyone take care with this part, I get to make it up for my deficiency.:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schinael Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 hi whitelisa, you can check all the informations at nabp website and if you want just download the application/registration bulletin. hope it helps.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpharm Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sorry to hear about that Whitelisa, and thanks for posting it.. When did you send out your application? Fafy, have you heard anything about your application? I'm thinking about sending mine now hoping to be able to take the test next June..

fpgee_pharm Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi i have recently submitted my documents to ECE and FPGEE. somebody was mentioning that 2 sets of documents (2 sets of transcripts and 2sets of proof of degree) should be submitted to ECE. IS it true? but i dont see anything like that in the bulliten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpharm Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 hi fpgee_pharm, If you look at page 19 of the bulletin, it says "Applicants are required to submit two sets of their pharmacy education documentation,..." It is confusing since they don't say this below.. I would call ECE and ask them what you can do. They do answer phone calls.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash J Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Hi, my ECE equivalency report came and it says, "The major study is Pharmaceutical Sciences and Equivalent of USA Regional Academic Accreditation”. Is it good or bad? Thanks, Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
