Physical Therapy Online

Stephanie Said:

Has anyone taken the online physical Therapy course offered by Penn Foster?

We Answered:

This is for a certificate as a physical therapy aide or tech. This is basically a job that can be trained on the job and pays a few bucks more than minimum wage. I've seen a lot of students waste valuable time and money thinking it's a good way to transition to a PTA or PT degree.

...as the other poster mentioned, don't do it.

If you really want a job as a tech, you can often do so without any formal experience.

Does anyone know of a good online course for Physical Therapy Aide?

We Answered:

Do not waste your money. PT aides are trained on the job. PTA (assistants) need to earn a 2 year AAS degree at an accredited school. www.apta.org
