Alternative training students are not limited to the schools on this list, but may find courses at other institutions and may take training courses at a number of different schools. Students who do not live near a training program may be able to complete their training by taking courses locally, on-line and through intensives. The Board Certified Trainer (BCT) is a member of the faculty of the North American Drama Therapy Association, and to ensure they receive credit toward the RDT (Registered Drama Therapist) requirements, current and potential alternative training students are encouraged to establish a relationship with a BCT, who will advise the student about course requirements and eligible coursework. Students are also encouraged to read the alternative training manual, to evaluate whether the course content and instructor's credentials meet the alternative training requirements.
