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).
Most states require physical therapy assistants to obtain certification and licensure. In order to become a certified professional, you need to graduate from an accredited physical therapy assistant degree program. Currently, there are over 270 programs accredited by the American Physical Therapy Associationâs Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.
