USATAA Certification Application Logo

  • Thank you for your interest in certification in Transactional Analysis.

    The United States of America Association for Transactional Analysis (USATAA) operates as the North America Transactional Analysis Association (NATAA). It is a collaborative and inclusive community of people who are learning, applying, and teaching transactional analysis. The TAP Certification Training Program was begun by the USATAA in order to give recognition to those who are using transactional analysis in their work.

    There are three levels of certification in the TAP Program:

    Certified Transactional Analysis Practitioner (TAP)
    Certified Transactional Analysis Advanced Practitioner (TAAP)
    Certified Transactional Analysis Practitioner Instructor (TAPI)

    Before you begin the application process, establish a connection with a TAPI who is willing to examine your qualifications and, if the TAPI concludes you are eligible, endorse your application.  Ideally, you would connect with a TAPI who is familiar with the training and supervision experiences you will present to qualify.
