Step 1: Find an Accredited Education Program. Every would-be licensed physical therapy assistant is required to complete a 2-year degree program that is approved by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).

Accredited degree programs include the study of exercises, medical terminology, human development and rehabilitation procedures, and include required clinical experiences.
