What happens after I complete my Level III course?

Once you successfully complete level III, you will be considered a full NILD Educational Therapist. You will be invited to certify as a Professionally Certified Educational Therapist (PCET). There are two letters of recommendation required and a $50 fee to attain this certification.

What do you mean by student contact hours?

You must spend at least 100 hours providing NILD therapy with students. You can attain this with one therapy student or with multiple.

Do I have to maintain licensure from year to year? What about my PCET certificate?

Yes. NILD is a professional training and licensing organization. To protect the efficacy of our techniques and ensure that all students worldwide are receiving a consistent and high-quality experience, all therapists MUST maintain a current license from year to year. This applies to Standard Licensure (for intern and full educational therapists) AND PCETs.

What if I let my license lapse or expire?

Unfortunately, if you do not hold a current license, you are not permitted to practice NILD Educational Therapy or use NILD materials. However, please contact the office as we are eager to help you figure out how to reinstate your license.

What if I don’t have any students?

Even if you are no longer working with students, we'd love you to stay connected with NILD. You may want to consider an Associate License ---click here to find out more.
