The NPTE program provides examination services to regulatory authorities charged with the regulation of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
Each licensing authority has established its own criteria for eligibility to sit for the PT and PTA examinations.
You should review the materials distributed by the licensing authority, to which you intend to apply for licensure or certification, to determine if you have met that authority's eligibility requirements.
A current examination may only be used for administration to bona fide candidates for initial licensure, re-licensure, or to candidates who are not licensed in a jurisdiction and do not have a qualifying exam score for that jurisdiction.
