AOMT-C® Certification

AOMT-C® certification is available to qualified healthcare professionals who meet both our professional and educational requirements.

Professional Eligibility

Eligible applicants include:

• Dentists (DDS/DMD)
• Registered dental hygienists (RDH)
• Speech-language pathologists (SLP)
• Occupational therapists (OT)
• Physical therapists (PT)
• Physicians (MD/DO)
• Chiropractors (DC)
• Others

Dental assistants, SLP assistants, physician assistants, and lactation consultants are not eligible based solely on those credentials.

Educational Eligibility

Applicants must complete AOMT's Comprehensive Myofunctional Therapy program or qualifying previous AOMT coursework. Training completed through other organizations does not independently satisfy this requirement.

*Please note: AOMT-C® does not confer licensure or expand professional scope of practice. Applicants must verify their eligibility to practice myofunctional therapy in their jurisdiction. For questions about prior education, international qualifications, or uncommon credentials, please email info@aomtinfo.org.

Yes. Completion of AOMT's Comprehensive Myofunctional Therapy program, or qualifying previous AOMT coursework, is required before pursuing AOMT-C® certification.

The Comprehensive program provides the foundational knowledge in anatomy, assessment, treatment planning, clinical application, and interdisciplinary care necessary for the certification process.

Previous AOMT students may qualify based on their completed coursework.

If you're unsure whether your education meets the requirements, please email info@aomtinfo.org for an eligibility review.

Absolutely! We welcome clinicians who have completed myofunctional therapy training through other organizations.

However, AOMT-C® certification requires completion of AOMT's educational pathway to ensure all applicants share a consistent foundation in the clinical principles and methodologies assessed during certification.

Your previous education and clinical experience are valuable and can support your progress through the certification process, but they do not replace AOMT's educational requirements.

The AOMT-C® certification process requires a minimum of six months of documented clinical experience through two comprehensive case studies.

In addition to the case studies, applicants must complete a 100-question open-book examination, three interdisciplinary observations (six hours total), and 15 Myo Coffee Klatsch sessions.

The overall timeline varies depending on your clinical experience, access to appropriate cases, and completion of the remaining requirements. Certification is designed to reflect meaningful clinical application rather than accelerated completion.

Yes! Once enrolled in the certification pathway, you can work toward multiple requirements concurrently.

For example, you may begin documenting your clinical cases while completing your examination, scheduling interdisciplinary observations, and participating in Myo Coffee Klatsch sessions.

We encourage applicants to approach the process at a pace that allows for thoughtful clinical application, professional reflection, and meaningful learning.

The AOMT-C® certification application fee is $225 USD, which provides access to the certification process and required submissions.

Tuition for AOMT's Comprehensive Myofunctional Therapy program is separate from the certification fee.

Once certified, clinicians maintain their credential through an annual renewal cycle, with a renewal fee of $225 USD and 10 CE hours from the Myo Coffee Klatsch.

AOMT-C® certification is valid for one year. To maintain the credential, certified clinicians must complete 10 hours of continuing education through the Myo Coffee Klatsch, and pay the $225 renewal fee.

No. AOMT-C® is a professional educational certification that recognizes demonstrated knowledge, clinical application, and completion of AOMT's certification requirements. It does not confer professional licensure, create independent authority to practice, or expand an existing professional scope.

Each clinician is responsible for ensuring that the services they provide comply with the laws, licensing regulations, and professional standards of their state, province, or country.

AOMT encourages applicants to verify their scope of practice with their respective licensing or regulatory board before providing myofunctional therapy services.
