Character Review for Candidates who have Submitted an Exam ApplicationNBCOT’s character review program serves the public interest by screening illegal, unethical, incompetent, or impaired behaviors of individuals who are yet to be certified by NBCOT. To ensure that occupational therapy practitioners meet standards of professional conduct prior to entering the profession, all applicants for certification are required to provide information and documentation related to affirmative responses to character questions on the examination application.
State Licensing Any questions a candidate may have regarding whether or not there maybe problems obtaining a license to practice would have to be answered by the state regulatory entity in the jurisdiction where the candidate intends to practice. While all jurisdictions that regulate occupational therapy accept NBCOT certification as one of the prerequisites for licensure, each makes its own decision and has its own rules and criteria for reviewing matters regarding good moral character. For additional information on licensure requirements, please contact the occupational therapy regulatory board in your state. Contact information for state licensing boards is available under Community - State OT Contact Map.
