ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its web address is www.acoteonline.org . The program must complete an on-site evaluation and be granted Accreditation Status before its graduates will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy ( NBCOT ). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, all states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination.

Students must complete Level II fieldwork and experiential requirements within 24 months following completion of the didactic portion of the program.
