BASIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS - CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL Experience as a Drama Therapist: 1000 hours of professional* experience as a drama therapist is required in order to become a Registered Drama Therapist. You may start to accrue these 1000 hours before you graduate from your M.A. program in drama therapy, or before you complete all of the requirements of Alternative Training if you have completed all of your core coursework and your internship is complete. But you MUST wait one year after your M.A. degree is completed to apply for your RDT.

In order to accrue hours pre-M.A. completion, students in M.A. drama therapy programs must complete all course work and internship, and be in the process of writing the thesis. For alternative training students who are concurrently working on a Masters degree along with Alternative Training, you must follow the above guidelines listed for M.A. drama therapy program students. If you already had your M.A. before beginning alternative training, in order to accrue paid experience hours, you must have completed your core course work for drama therapy as well as your internship. Professional experience must be supervised by a Registered Drama Therapist, registered creative arts therapist or a credentialed mental health or special education professional. You must have one hour of supervision for every 10 hours of client contact time. We expect that approximately 50% of your 1000 hours will be direct client contact hours (see internship section for definition of "direct client contact"). *Note: If you have acquired experience in a position that was unpaid, please attach a letter from a representative of the agency to document that: explains that the position was recognized by the agency as professional and provides a brief narrative justification for non-paid status.
