Details
Becoming Recreation Therapist Certified (RTC) with the California Board of Recreation Therapy Certification (CBRTC) is essential for recreation professionals as it certifies competence and assures employers and the public of their abilities. It is a testament to their education and experience in administering Recreation Therapy services, making them qualified to provide the best care possible. By being previously certified, you have already passed the education, experience, and examination requirements for certification, making you eligible for recertification. It is crucial to stay up to date with the latest knowledge and advancements in your field. Earning 20 hours/2.0 CEUs of educational content specific to RT/TR ensures that you are properly maintaining your certification. Passing the application requirements will recertify you as an RTC with CBRTC and is valid for two years. Renewal applications are reviewed twice per year in June and December by the CBRTC Recertification Review Committee (RRC). During the review period, you may be contacted to remediate any issues with your application. Once your application is accepted by the CBRTC Executive Assistant your certification status will become “eligible” and once it is approved by the committee your status will become “certified” and your payment will be processed. Acknowledgment of your recertification will be mailed to you. If your application is denied and you do not meet the CEU requirements or remediate the issues, your certification will remain “expired”.
