Karin’s Answer

Hi there,

You need at least an associates degree (2 years), better a bachelors degree (4 years) in respiratory therapy.

You can then take an exam to become a certified respiratory therapist. And 2 more exams get you credentialled as registered respiratory therapist.

In most states you also need to be licensed to practice.

I hope this helps!
