National Occupational Therapy Certification Examination (NBCOT)

The National Occupational Therapy Certification Examination (NBCOT) is a standardized test that verifies the knowledge and skills of individuals aspiring to become licensed occupational therapists. Administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, it assesses competencies necessary for safe and effective practice. Passing this exam is typically required to obtain certification, which demonstrates professional qualification and allows practitioners to practice independently within their state or country. The NBCOT ensures that occupational therapists meet established standards through a rigorous assessment process, supporting quality care and consumer confidence in the profession.
