Hi NicolaAvery

A physiotherapy education is a professional degree where one learns a large number basic and clinical science subjects, along with clinical education in the field. Increasingly entry to the profession is at a graduate level - that is you do a BSc degree in relevant subjects (usually graduate entry level programs stipulate preferred degrees) then a comprehensive degree in physiotherapy, in some countries at a Masters level and in some countries at a clinical doctorate level. In England it is still a 3 years Bachelors degree, but I think that this holds the profession back somewhat. In Scotland and Ireland the degrees are often more advanced. Regardless of the country these degrees can not be learnt by distance; With such a hands on health profession this is just not feasible.

You can't become a physiotherapist by an "apprenticeship". You could get a job as physio assistant for which you need no training. However this will lead you nowhere if you want to become a physiotherapist. the profession is highly regulated in most countries and most aspects of physiotherapy are not carried out by physio assistants.

If you really want to become a physiotherapist I think you need to get better informed about how to go about it. That way you can get a plan in place for realising your dream.
