How long have you girls been apprentices as a PT?

[ihannahbanana]

@323ReTrO About a month!

[323ReTrO]

@ihannahbanana You're doing this for an intern or taking a course? (Pardon me if I ask too much, I am pursuing a career either a PT or Athletic Trainer and would like to know how to find PT courses to gain basic knowledge as a PT)

[ihannahbanana]

@323ReTrO No problem! We took a course for it. It's very helpful, there's another course for us to take as well where we can sort of "shadow" actual PT.

@ihannahbanana hmmm alright cool, thats good. As for years to be an actual PT and receive a Degree. You know any information about that? I did some investigation and found that learning takes 4 years (well, in college to learn the basic stuff) then like 6 or 7 years to be an official PT.
