Frequently Asked Questions

How long does RO DBT training take?

We have a blog that provides more detail about the program: How Long does RO DBT training take?

We recommend that you give yourself at least 1 week to watch each webinar and do the recommended homework exercises.

If you follow this guideline, this means Level 1 will take you 6 weeks and Level 2 will take you 30 or 17 weeks depending on the pathway you are doing.

So, it will take about 9 months for RO DBT Practitioners and 6 months for RO Skills Instructors to complete Levels 1 and 2.

We strongly recommend you take the time to learn and apply the treatment: it is a complex treatment for complex disorders. Be kind to yourself, don’t rush it!
