it takes two full years to become a respiratory therapist and to get your associate degree.

Answer:You require a minimum of an Associate's degree in Respiratory Therapy to work as a Respiratory Therapist. The duration of this program is generally 2 years but some colleges allow you to complete the degree in as little as 20 months. Some people also choose to pursue Bachelor's Respiratory Therapy degrees to increase their prospects for employment and career growth. These programs take 3-4 years to complete. You should make sure you complete your Respiratory Therapy degree from an accredited college; most employers do not consider a degree from an unaccredited college to be valid.
