REQUIRED CREDENTIALS FOR Go4 ATHLETIC TRAINERS

National Certification

You must add a copy of your BOC card. If you don’t have a copy you can obtain a digital copy HERE.

If licensed in Texas, your Texas Certification can take the place of a National Certification.  

License

The jobs you are able to view and apply to on Go4, are based on the license you add to your profile. 

In rare instances, states may offer reciprocity and this is written into the state practice act.  You can review your state practice act here. 

If you live in California, you do not need to add a state license credential to the Go4 app, as there is currently no state regulation of athletic training. 

Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) | What is PLI and Why do I need it? CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT

Professional Liability Insurance or PLI is required by Go4 for all Athletic Trainers looking to work a shift on our platform. While you may be covered under an employer, you are not covered by that same policy when you work as a 1099 per-diem Athletic Trainer in other settings. PLI is extremely affordable and can protect you and your family.

A resume is optional, but it boosts your profile by showcasing your experience. We have found that healthcare professionals with resumes in their profiles get hired more frequently than those without.
