Annual
Maintenance Application
Each year of the five-year certification cycle, a Certified
Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist (CTRS) must submit an annual maintenance
application
and fee. The annual maintenance application and fee are due
by the
expiration date. (i.e., either June 30 or December 31).
NCTRC
Standards for Recertification and Reentry
Each CTRS is required to recertify
every five years. In order to recertify,
the CTRS must chose one of two options from the NCTRC Recertification
Components. Option 1: 480 hours of professional work experience
in therapeutic
recreation
and 50 hours of continuing
education credit that is related to the NCTRC Job Analysis.
Option 2: passing the national certification exam. The CTRS
submits a
recertification application to demonstrate completion of these
continuing
competence requirements along with the annual maintenance
fee.

POLICY
Reentry is a process whereby certain individuals whose
certification recently expired, may qualify for eligibility
to take the NCTRC CTRS certification examination, without
needing to meet the current educational and experiential requirements
for initial certification. Reentry certification eligibility
is limited to only those candidates who were CTRS certified
within two years prior to their application for reentry.
