VSR...How Do I Register?
Individual Therapists
If you're a qualified therapist practicing complementary therapy and are not sure whether you qualify for registration with the BCTC, please contact us to clarify your situation.
Group Membership
Group applications of therapists can be made if the Group Application Criteria are met.
Please view the Group Application Form and Checklist to see if your Professional Association can process an application on your behalf.
If you feel your PA qualifies, please contact your Association and ask the membership secretary or another representative of the Association to contact us to confirm the Group Application Criteria
Training Standards
If you are an Association, School or Clinic offering training, please review the documents relating to Standards of Practice and Training and Education Standards to confirm that your training syllabus meets the BCTC Registration requirements. Incorporating our standards will improve the credibility of your training syllabus and is more likely to help your therapy move towards acceptance into the State and Private Healthcare systems.
For those Associations, Schools or Clinics whose therapy courses have not, in the past, fully incorporated the BCTC Standards, you could consider offering your graduated therapists a top-up course, covering the BCTC Standards as part of their CPD programme, in support of their application to the BCTC.
Application Review Panel
The information we request will require verification and approval by our Applications Review Panel, so your application will only be processed if we receive ALL the documentation requested (see Individual Application Form).
Once approved, you will be contacted by our Administrator and receive your BCTC Registration Certificate. You will also be eligible to use the BCTC Approved logo on all your promotional literature, website and all correspondence.
