Advanced Certification application and fees

View the pricing, timeline, and general information about the application process for Advanced Certification.

Please note before applying:

We have recently gone through a systems update which has affected several operating systems within the organization. The switch to a new system for the entire organization has led to a lot of technical difficulties.  With that, when attempting to submit payment for the BCG, BCP, or BCPR exams, you may be faced with an error message which may prevent you from completing the payment process. We are aware of this matter and are working with several vendors to be resolved as quickly as possible. Once you submit your application, you will be contacted with next steps once the payment link is functional, to resume the application process.

Questions can be directed to certification@aota.org.

Application Fee: $575 (AOTA members)/$700 (non-members)

Recertification Fee: (5 years): $280 (AOTA members)/$415 (non-members)
