Physical Therapy Aide – CPTA

Physical Therapy Aide

Physical therapist aides are the ones at the ready to assist patients in and out of the therapy area of a clinic, offering aid when needed without impinging on a client’s sense of independence and mobility.

A Physical Therapist Aide has many duties in a physical therapy environment that, like the physical therapy assistant, help to make physical therapists more productive. For example, a physical therapy aide is often responsible for keeping the treatment area clean and well prepped. The physical therapy aide may also assist patients in their preparation for treatment. In larger work settings, physical therapy aides may also do clerical tasks such as ensuring necessary items are in stock as well as doing paperwork, including assisting with the maintenance of patient records.

Unlike a physical therapist or a physical therapy assistant, a Physical Therapist Aide generally is not required to have a degree. Training for this position is often gained purely on the job.

Cancellations

Refunds will not be offered for examination fees unless the scheduled examination date is cancelled by NHCWA. In the event you decide for any reason to withdraw from participation in the exam, you must cancel your appointment with NHCWA and notify NHCWA in writing with signature no later than 48 hours prior to the exam. If a candidate does not cancel or reschedule their exam with NHCWA at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled time, the cost of the exam is forfeited and the candidate must re-register as well as repurchase the exam. In the event that severe weather or another emergency forces the closure of a NHCWA test site on a scheduled examination date, the examination will be rescheduled by NHCWA at no additional charge. NHCWA personnel will attempt to contact candidates who are in this situation. However, candidates may also check the status of their examination schedules by calling NHCWA at 1-855-378-7601. Every effort will be made to reschedule the examination at a convenient time.

No-Show

If you fail to cancel for any reason fail to appear at the exam site where you are registered to sit for the exam you will forfeit all fees paid and no refund will be provided. You are considered a “no- show Candidate” and forfeit all fees. If you arrive late you may not be permitted to sit for the exam; whether or not you will be allowed to sit is entirely at the discretion of the NHCWA test center and will depend on whether the site has availability to accommodate a late-arriving Candidate. Should the late-arriving Candidate not be permitted to test, he/she will forfeit all fees paid and no refund will be provided. If you cancel or fail to appear for the exam you will be required to file a new application, pay applicable fees and meet applicable eligibility criteria if you wish to sit for future exams.

Rescheduling

Exam appointments can be rescheduled if time slots are available. To reschedule an exam appointment you must have your NHCWA confirmation number and you must reschedule by using the Reschedule option at www.nhcwa.com or by calling NHCWA at 1-855-378-7601.
