The Step by Step Process

All applications are reviewed and evaluated by the IBTSA Certification Committee which consists of certified professionals and representatives from victim advocacy.  The Certification Committee makes recommendations for approval or denial to the Iowa Board for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers.

There is a non-refundable fee of $40 for Certification and to be assigned your Certification Number.
