Welcome to OTepp

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS WEBSITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN DECEMBER 1, 2022

Delivered through the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, OTepp helped hundreds of IEOTs from across Canada and around the world prepare for occupational therapy practice in Canada from 2008 through 2022.  In 2021, we made the difficult decision to cease activities.  OTepp expresses its sincere thanks and appreciation to all who supported, contributed and participated in OTepp over the years.  

• OTepp is no longer accepting applications.  Internationally educated occupational therapists should contact ACOTRO's Substantial Equivalency Assessment System (SEAS) for information on how to start their assessment process.

  The OTepp Certificate program is taught using adult learning methods that rely upon the student being involved in the learning as a partner with the teacher. The two key methods are self-directed learning and problem-based learning. You will not be learning a lot of facts and then answering exam questions to show that you remember those facts. Instead, you will be reading articles and resource materials that are identified for you by the course teacher and posted as a resource list. You will be expected to be prepared when you come to class so that you can be a part of the discussions that will take place in the class.
