CERTIFICATION PROCESS

To become a certified Athletic Therapist, students must graduate with a bachelor's degree from an accredited professional Athletic Therapy program and pass a comprehensive theory exam and a subsequent oral/practical exam, developed and administered by the Certification Board of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association. Students are required to complete 1200 hours of field and clinical experience to be eligible to apply for certification. Once certified, an Athletic Therapist must demonstrate continued professional development to maintain their status with the CATA and the CTSQ.
