Implications for Students
Completing an accredited RTT® course provides several benefits:
-
Professional Recognition: Graduates are recognized as having met rigorous standards set by accrediting bodies, enhancing their credibility with clients and employers.
-
Eligibility for Membership: After certification, graduates can apply for membership with the respective accrediting organizations. Membership may offer additional benefits such as professional support, resources, and networking opportunities. Some accrediting bodies may require additional study beyond the RTT® course.
-
Insurance and Practice Rights: Accreditation may facilitate obtaining professional liability insurance, which is essential for practicing therapists. It may also be necessary for practicing in regions where membership in a recognized professional body is required.
Course Accreditation vs. Personal Accreditation
It is important to distinguish between the accreditation of the RTT® training program and personal accreditation or certification for individual practitioners:
-
Course Accreditation: This refers to the recognition granted to RTT® training programs by professional bodies, affirming that the course content, delivery, and assessment meet established standards of excellence.
-
Personal Accreditation/Certification: After completing an RTT® course, graduates receive certification confirming they have met the necessary competencies to practice RTT®. Practitioners may seek additional accreditation from professional bodies that recognize RTT® courses. This may involve providing evidence of training, adhering to a code of ethics, and completing continued professional development requirements.
Summary
RTT® courses are accredited by various professional organizations, ensuring high-quality training and professional recognition. However, individual practitioners must check with accrediting bodies regarding membership eligibility, additional requirements, and benefits. This dual recognition strengthens both the credibility of the training program and the professional standing of its graduates.
