State PTA License Requirements
Physical therapist assistant licenses are earned at the state level. So, each state has it’s own rules and guidelines for applying and receiving a physical therapy assistant license. Most states have a Physical Therapy Board, or something similar, that regulates applications for PTA licensing.
One thing in common among all states is that in order to work as a PTA you must have your state PTA license.
