Play Therapy Credential Renewal Information

Credential Renewal Information

Holding the APT credential demonstrates your commitment and dedication to the high standards of and best practices in the field of play therapy.  Moreover, it provides you with the recognition and credibility necessary to practice in this specialty area with confidence. 

All Registered Play TherapistTM (RPTTM), Registered Play Therapist-SupervisorTM (RPT-STM), and School Based-Registered Play TherapistTM (SB-RPTTM) registrants must renew their credential annually, as well as provide documentation of play therapy continuing education every three years.

Renewal of your APT credential is contingent upon the receipt and acknowledgement by APT, of ALL required items. Failure to renew your credential by its due date will cause your credential to become inactive, and prevent you from using the designation.
