Certification Information

Certification in Choice Theory® is the ultimate goal of this training program and must be arranged through the Glasser Institute for Choice Theory® (GIFCT) at https://wglasser.com.

Please note:

  • Certification requires completion of all four stages of training.

  • Participants must have three different instructors throughout the process. You will have a different instructor for certification. You can choose me for three phases, and I’ll assist you in finding another instructor for the fourth stage. Alternatively, you can locate another instructor through the GIFCT website.

  • Once you complete your certification, you will earn the CTRTC credential behind your name, however, this does not provide you the right to call yourself a counselor, social worker, or therapist. You must complete a masters-level course of study, pass a licensing exam, and complete the required supervision hours for that privilege.
