National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification

The National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) is the premier credentialing organization for the profession of Therapeutic Recreation. Students must complete their coursework and internship to sit for the exam. The University of Utah RT coursework prepares the student to take the NCTRC examination to become a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and obtain Utah state licensure. However, we cannot guarantee students will be eligible for the NCTRC exam and Utah state licensure.
