We are always looking for qualified physical and occupational therapists to author our courses. The author must demonstrate academic and clinical experience for the topic and be able to provide a CV that will satisfy approval agencies and state boards stating how the author is qualified to write on the topic. The author must also agree to provide the information required for course approval. This generally includes, author qualifications, a CV, course description and objectives, and a course examination. If you would like to propose a topic, or have already written a course, or have given a presentation that may be converted into a narrative course please send us an email with the proposed topic(s). Authors are paid a royalty for each course sold.

 

Our company policy is that you make a 70% passing grade on your exam. If you are taking the exam online and do not pass, click the retake exam button. No fee for retakes online. If you submit the exam to our grading department, you will be notified that you did not meet the passing score. You will be allowed one retake with no fee. If you do not meet the passing score on a second attempt, you will be assessed a $20.00 Examination Retake Fee if you want to receive credit for the course.

Email us at info@PTcourses.com and provide the course number and your email address and we will email you the information.

Some states have an approval process, some states have no approval process, and some states have reciprocal approval. In states where there is an approval process, an application for the course is submitted to either the state board or state association by PTcourses.com. The state board or state association "approves the course." To say that a course is approved in a non-approval state would be misleading, as there is no approval process. Some state boards have a reciprocal approval. In other words, if the course is approved by another state board, then that course is automatically approved in that state.

Please visit OTcourses.com for a complete listing of our courses available to OT's.

YES. We have many PTs and OTs who take courses from states where we do not specifically offer courses. In this case, the state has a process where the individual therapist may seek approval. You should check with your state board to see what the process is in your own state.

Can two or more people order on the same form so we may obtain the discounts?
Yes, however, there are two requirements. First, the courses must be shipped to the same address. Second, WE MUST HAVE THE NAME OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AND WHICH COURSE EACH PERSON WILL TAKE. We enter the names in the test database when the courses are ordered so we need each person's name and which course they will take so the correct person obtains credit for the course.

A full refund of the course fee will be processed (minus shipping) as long as the materials have not been used and are in their original condition. Return shipping will be at the purchaser's expense.
