California OTA moving to England

Hey everyone. So I want to try working in England as a COTA and I am wondering if my license and NBCOT certification will carry over. If not, what is the process of being able to work as an OTA in England?


WIll highly appreciate the help and advice!

I'm not sure if a COTA is exactly the same as an occupational therapy assistant (OTA) in the UK. Essentially here, OTAs assist the OTs with carrying out their interventions, often being more 'hands-on' with patients/clients. They work in a variety of settings and specialisms. I/the Hub couldn't advise specifically on work visa applications. I would suggest you visit the UK government website for info on this: https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas.
