Thank you!!!!
Thinking about going back to school to become a PTA. These videos are very informative, thank you for taking the time to record and edit them!
Seth thanks!
A lot of time goes into making these videos so I’m glad they are helpful lol.
Antonio Sanson they are. Please keep em coming! Maybe do a video on what you could self study before entering a PTA program in order to make it easier once you start? I was an accounting major but long story short, I'm going to work on the prereqs for my local PTA program over the next year. The plan is to then quit my job and just take the main PTHA classes for 2 years. I always like to learn some core foundations of classes before I actually take them. I guess that wasnt a short story but.. it would be a very appreciated video!!
Excellent! You answered a lot of questions I had.
Great videos man ! Comforts me in the idea of pursuing this career path. Thanks a lot !
Love your videos, I'm actually going to school for PTA
Mayra Del Villar hey that’s great!!
Have you started yet?
Love information brother✊
Bro I love your energy and being so frank keep going Antonio. I also like your channel and am thinking of going for PT.
Awesome! what state do you live in or want to work in?
Are you going for it??
Thanks for this video! Very helpful. Considering becoming a PTA, but hesitate because I have a chronic illness and don’t know if the active level would be a good fit. Been watching a lot of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff.
Glad you are finding them helpful! hopefully you can decide if this is a good fit for you.
Great advice on how to become a PITA. Thanks!
thank you so much
gabriellez613 your welcome!
I'm 31 and thinking of changing careers this video has helped me to really do it. Thanks man
I’ve followed your channel for like 2 years now and I’m in my first semester of PTA school.
That’s what’s uppp!
Lol I need to watch all of your vids before I ask questions I commented on a previous video and I think you answered it here
Mari Sings haha no problem!
Glad you are finding the videos helpful!
Just wanted to update you. Colorado does requires that you be licensed to practice. They changed it in 2012 right as I was graduating. Love the channel and content.
Thanks!!!
Antonio your awesome 👏. So authentic, easily best channel to watch on pta. As a pta is there any math on the job cuz that’s my worst subject? I understand there’s a math class in college but on the job is there any algebra/trig or geometry or addition and multiplication and ect? My god brother who is a physical therapist said there isn’t on the job... just in college. What do u say?
Bryan H first of all, thanks for the nice comment bro!
And yah your brother is correct. You don’t use math like at all on the job only to like maybe count how long you were with a patient and how much you should bill them. But it’s very simple.
hi! so i’ve been watching your videos and it really helped me! i am considered for spring 2022 and i wanted to ask on the assessment that i will take. like, is there any book that i can read to have practice on before i do my interview and assessment? really need your tips, thank you!
these video is very helpful thank you so much!
Crystal Universeee glad you are finding my content helpful!
Hey Antonio thanks for your videos they have been helpful in my research about PTA. I recently graduated with an Associates in Science and was wondering if i could take the certification exam with that degree although it was not directed specifically for PTA's?
Roberto Mares thanks man,
This is the education requirement straight from the fsbpt website:
Education. Have a degree appropriate for the exam level from a CAPTE accredited institution, or have an education that has been determined to be substantially equivalent by a recognized credentialing agency.
And in mid 2018 they are changing some of the education requirements. This is what their website says also:
Proof of Educational Equivalence. Graduates from non-CAPTE accredited programs will need to demonstrate that their education is substantially equivalent to the education of individuals who graduate from CAPTE-accredited programs, as determined by a recognized credentialing agency. When registering for the exam, candidates will need to enter the following information: 1) the name of the agency that performed the evaluation, 2) the name and version of the evaluation tool used to complete the evaluation, and 3) the outcome of the evaluation (substantially equivalent or not equivalent).
Roberto Mares id recommend just calling and asking if the college you went to meets the requirements lol
What if you don’t pass the licensing exam? How much time until you can retake it? (If u can)
All states require licensure/certification even Colorado and Hawaii
thank you for your videos. I considering study PTA near future. Any suggestion for good online schools? I am home dad. Thanks
Greg Gon thanks for feedback!
But I’m sorry I wouldn’t know what is a good recommendation for online schools, if I hear about an online school with a good reputation I’ll let you know.
I’m about to start in a pta program. What advice can you give me on forming study habits? I have been out of school for about 8 years now.
Jonathon Yohn setting aside specific time delegates to strictly studying helped me.
And prioritizing what matters most in your life because you will have to make some sacrifice.
I personally like to study for a bit then take a break, then study for a bit, then take a break so I can take time to digest each section
Do I have to go to a trade school that offers this program or can I just go to a community college to get my aa for pta?
What books would you recommend for anatomy, physiology & pathology prior to entering a PTA program
I’m sure your class will give you what books to huy
Recently found your channel and I really appreciate the videos. I’m enrolled in a two year course and super nervous, only 6 people in my program and I’m the only guy lol. But anyways, how hard is it to go from being a PTA to a PT
Jonathan Seier glad you like the channel!
Hahaha that’s funny.
So I’m not exactly sure on the difficulty level. I would think that you would actually have more of an advantage because you will have more experience from being a pta.
Mehgan (the girl in the other videos) has made the transition from a pta to a pt so we are going to be making a video on it in the future covering that topic.
@Sophia Salvati he did, check the channel
Can you send me what online course are available

I am interested in being a part time PTA because I want to work on my own personal artwork which is important to me. I noticed there are listings of part time PTAs in the US but are they as common or less common as full time positions? I would like to start out part time and if I am ready to move to full time I like having that option.
Ana Bass I mean it definitely depends on where you live and what setting you want to work in.
I think you can find both full time or part time jobs though.
You might be able to get a full time position maybe just a bit easier but I think they would be pretty similar.
That’s cool that you are into art!
Witch books I should buy to start study ?
What's the online schools
I am a personal trainer for the past 15 years and want to become a pta
im currently going to a community college, is it better to drop out and go straight to the program or how does that pta program work?
Up until today I was pretty dead set on becoming a PT, but I think I'd rather become a PTA. I really want to work with dancers, and while I know that they wouldn't be my primary/only patients, do you think that as a PTA there are a decent amount of opportunities to work in the performing arts field? So far all my research just points to PTs in the performing arts field.
Farrah97 I actually don't have too much knowledge on this subject. I have a friend who started a clinic at a dance studio and she is a PT but she is at the point now where she is hiring PTA's to help her.
so it is definitely possible to treat dance related injuries you just have to get in network with the right people.
Antonio Sanson Thank you so much!
I have an A.A. degree in Health Science and I’m looking into PTA but I don’t know what to do next. Can you give me some advice ?
Does anyone know a good online courses???
Your voice reminds me of gokuflex
For a mom with children, and other responsibilities, is it possible to take one class per semester, even if it takes 8 years to finish the program? Is there a time frame that it has to be completed once you start?
can you take the exam if you have a bachelor degree in exercise science, but no specific program ?
Erik Swan not usually, you have to graduate from an accredited program or something similar. You can try calling your states licensing agency for more info about that.
I want to be become a Pediatric physical therapist. What do you recommend me?
Was planning to apply for the 2021 year but Covid Regulations denied me Volunteer Hours and the application deadline is in August
Oh bummer, hopefully you can get something sorted out
I am pursuing a bachelor degree in pre PT in Guam, but I want to be a PTA but they don't have this major in my university. What do i?
Has anyone here taken kinesiology ? Would you recommend taking it with anatomy and physiology ?
It would look good on your Resume lol
I have done post graduation in Physiotherapy from India, I want to work as PTA in Australia ( Prefferably in Canberra) before I apply PT license can you guide me how I should plan things
I am about to go to trade school and do 2 jobs training to save 100 thousand in the next 4 years
Instead of going to the PTA school
Because if I go to PTA school I will save only 30 thousand but I will get a degree too so wich one you advise me to go with
What kind of math do we need or do we even need math??
I am pretty sure you have to be licensed in Colorado?
Karey Evans yah I think your right!
It says on one cite I looked at that it’s not required but I just looked it up on the APTA and it says all 50 states are required to now
Thanks for letting me know!
I’ll have to make an update to it! Much appreciated!
Antonio Sanson I have a final interview on Thursday at PIMA in Denver 😬 thanks for all these videos & getting back to me!
I also know about a program with San Juan Collage where it is online and you meet once a semester for 5 semesters in Farmington, NM for 10-20 days for labs!
Karey Evans that’s really cool.
I think more people are starting to lean towards online classes
I’m in a pta office assistant certificate program and I’m learning a lot about computers and technology, I haven’t seen anything about the body. How much does computers come in handy as a pta?
Since your going for an office assistant I don't think you will encounter much about the body but mainly managing office work. We use computers as a PTA to document care and keep track of patient information.
can a physiotherapist ( masters in muscoloskeletal)work as a physiotherapy assistant??
Have you treated any bodybuilders or any one who workout?
Kevv M yah we actually just had some patients that worked out in the gym and had some pain with different activities.
If I get a degree in kinesiology and then go to get an associates In PTA do you recommend
Maryse Dbd I would go just straight for the associate in PTA!
@@dahlianavarro8120 yea but I’m already a sophomore and don’t rly wanna leave now so I figure it will look better on my resume to have a bachelors and the associate
Do you have to go to college or a program to be pta?
How many hours a day you have school
Low High I honestly don’t remember
I think it was around 5 maybe.
It’s like a job lol
@@AntonioSanson thank i though it was 8 hours i can deal with 5 for 2 years
Can you become a PTA with a exercise science degree
Yes, but you will also need an Associate of Applied Science Degree from an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program. My best friend went that route. I'm a PTA.
What college you went to?
Baker College in Michigan
I'm currently studying Kinesiology with an emphasis on physical therapy, does that work to become a PT or PTA??
Eli Cape as long as it is meeting the requirements for your specific college.
I would check to see what the requirements are that way you don’t miss any classes or anything
The pta program doesn’t require a lot of prerequisites so you might be closer to being able to apply for that program
Eli Cape would you recommend taking kinesiology with anatomy and physiology v
Do PTA’s wear scrubs to work or just workout clothes?
I am currently not a PTA, but have shadow to apply to the program in my area. With my experience it depends on the employer, the inpatient facilities they wore scrubs, and the outpatient wore khakis and a polo, both required non-slip shoe.
Depends on your employer. Typically hospitals and nursing facilities the therapy team will wear scrubs but in clinics they'll wear khakis. Currently I am employed as a PTA at a nursing home and our dress code is navy scrubs or dress pants with a navy dress top.
@@BLM52093 did you do an internship?
@@ashleyholum9078 in school I was required to complete 3 6 weeks clinical rotation, one in a skilled nursing facility, hospital, and outpatient clinic. I took a job in the school system and absolutely loved it. I drove from school to school see kids.
