OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS - CERTIFICATE RENEWALS

Like CGFNS, the NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) waives the English language requirement for certain occupational therapists renewing a healthcare certificate. NBCOT requires applicants to retake the English examination only if the individual has resided outside of the country for three consecutive years or more since receiving their last certificate. The requirement is waived for all other individuals.

The NBCOT certification is granted for a 3-year period. The renewal period runs from January until March annually, regardless of the month in which the initial certification was achieved. The deadline – March 31 – is fast approaching.
