For New Jersey Physical Therapist (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) the deadline to complete your required 30 physical therapy continuing education hours is fast approaching! Every Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant in the state of New Jersey must complete their required CEUs no later than January 31st every two years! So don't gamble with your continuing education requirement - read on to find out exactly what you need to take to complete your 30-hour requirement!
According to the New Jersey Board of PT Examiners, New Jersey PTs and PTAs may complete up to 10 hours of their continuing education requirement through approved home study flex package courses (distance learning), and the remaining 20 hours must be completed via live study (however, webinars, i.e. live online presentations with real-time interaction with presenter, are not considered distance learning & would not fall under the 10 hr limit).

What are the state requirements for a PTA in the state of New Jersey? I am a licensed PTA .
What courses can I take online and what courses do I need to take in person.

Hi Vincent,
New Jersey PTAs need 30 hours by Jan. 31st, 2020. There is a 10-hour distance learning limit. However, our HomeCEU.com live webinars do not count towards the distance learning limit as you get real-time interaction with the course presenter. Therefore, you would be able to take all 30 hours via HomeCEU.com courses.

If you build a package or select individual courses from the catalog, be sure to select 20 hours of webinars and the remaining 10 hours can be from other categories.
Have a great day!
