Who approves these programs
Who approves these: Washington licenses respiratory care practitioners. You need at least a two-year program accredited by CoARC (the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care) and the two NBRC exams for the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential (RCW 18.89.090; WAC 246-928-520 and 246-928-540). Idaho requires a license too (Idaho Code 54-4306): its Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) and Allied Health Advisory Board license people who hold a respiratory care credential from a board-approved national organization (Idaho Code 54-4308). Every program here is on CoARC's list of accredited programs. Source: RCW 18.89.090.
Checked Sep 29, 2026 against CoARC's list of accredited programs and each school's own page. Dates, costs and approvals change: confirm with the program before you pay. A listing isn't an endorsement, and schools don't pay to be listed here.
