Introduction
By accessing, registering for, purchasing, or using Therapy Council services, you agree to these Terms and to any policies linked from this page. If you use the platform for an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that organization.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated version.
Accounts and Eligibility
- You must provide accurate, current, and complete account information.
- You are responsible for keeping login credentials confidential and for activity under your account.
- You may not share, sell, transfer, or sublicense account access or course access.
- We may suspend or close accounts used for fraud, misuse, unauthorized sharing, or policy violations.
Educational Content and Certificates
- Certificates are issued to the individual learner who completes the required coursework, assessments, and verification steps.
- Certificates are not professional licenses, academic degrees, or authority to practice regulated therapy unless expressly stated by an applicable licensing body.
- We may revoke or correct certificates obtained through cheating, impersonation, unauthorized assistance, payment reversal, or material policy breach.
Credential Permanence and Curriculum Currency
A Therapy Council credential does not expire. This section is the authoritative statement of how issued credentials, their register records, and the four-year curriculum date work.
- Credential permanence: the issued credential and its register record remain permanently verifiable, unless the credential is revoked or corrected under the conditions in Educational Content and Certificates above.
- Curriculum currency: every certificate shows a "Curriculum Current Through" date, four years from the date of issue. It marks the period during which the curriculum version the learner completed is considered current. It is not an expiry date.
- After the Curriculum Current Through date, the original credential remains valid as a record of the assessment passed on its issue date, and it stays on the register and verifiable.
- Optional recertification: after four years, a learner may choose to complete the then-current reassessment requirements, and Therapy Council may then issue an updated credential reflecting the current curriculum.
- The reassessment is the current one, which may differ from the assessment originally passed if the curriculum has been updated.
- Course material you have purchased stays available to you whether or not you complete a reassessment.
- To ask about reassessment for your certification, contact us and we will confirm the current requirements and any fee before you commit.
- Therapy Council credentials are not statutory licences, registrations, or protected professional qualifications.
