The short answer is "none". See the FAQ for the American Physical Therapy Association, which accredits programs for PTs and PTAs. No program held entirely online is CAPTE-accredited, because you need the hands-on clinical work. Some states will allow you to be licensed as a PTA even if you graduate from a non-accredited program; your profile says you're in Pennsylvania, which does require graduation from a CAPTE-accredited program in order to register for the exam. (click on the link for "Application: National Physical Therapy Examination (PT & PTA)" to see the application - the requirement is stated under Eligibility Requirement for examination)

There are 13 CAPTE-accredited PTA programs in Pennsylvania, and hopefully one is near you.

If she wants to become a physical therapy aide, our old friend Penn Foster College has a fully-online diploma program!

Hello,

Therapy Team review course is an NPTE program that helps with exam analysis, types of questions, study tips, strategies, and techniques. You can visit the website and see what it's all about. Failure is not an option!
