about FCCPT process

Hi
I am Naresh, I am physical Therapist from India. I did my credential evaluation from ICDEL and also get ATT from Michigan Board of Health Care so now i am planing to give NPTE exam this December. Now my problem is i want to practice in Texas state, but i don't know how much minimum credits we must have? So if any one has some idea about it then please tell me. One more thing is Texas board is asking for my credential evaluation from FCCPT, and for that i must get 26 in speaking with overall of 89 marks in TOEFL iBT. So i want to know that without this score can i get my credential evaluation from FCCPT?:cool:

Hello Naresh,

I am Indian physio completed 41/2 yrs. not done masters. when i planned Credential evaluation through ICD i got advice not to evaluate thru ICD because they ask for Masters. evaluate through FCCPT. But after found FCCPT course work evaluation checklist through some website. they ask general education minimum 54 credit hrs with physics and chemistry compulsory for more look at check list uploaded in WORD format. I dont know whether in india physiotherapy course has physics and chemistry in syllabus. how did you clear ICD evaluation... ICD ask for masters in VISA SCREENING process. for your question... FCCPT ask for TOEFL score.

I have uploaded FCCPT check list and application form..
i want to know whether i can clear Credential verification and visa screening with ICD and have u you done masters. Give more details abt evaluation ICD and FCCPT

Expecting reply from you

hi dear,
No its not like that what you think. C i did my credential evaluation ICDEL only and even i have 4 and half year degree. They even send me eligibility letter for taking NPTE exam. So they are not asking for Master degree. They have no concern with your degree whether you have bachelor of Master degree, their job is only to evaluate only your degree ,to evaluate your credits that's it. So if you send them all your document the way they are asking...i don't think so you will have trouble. Ok so go ahead with ICDEL if you want to give Michigan state license exam. ok Anyway thanks for your reply. bye c u t c

Hi,
Thanks for replying to me
ICD may be not asking Masters for Credential evaluation but they ask for visa screening this you will be doing after clearing NPTE but if visa screening done by FCCPT Type II they are not asking masters.This is what i was told by Darren williams of physioamerica.com -- US Recruitment agency wing of this forum.So i planned to apply through FCCPT. GENERAL eduction credits is minimum 56 hrs with PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY compulsory for this. U can find this in check list I uploaded.Have you read that. I have no physics and chemistry in physiotherapy syllabus. So i was unable to apply either through ICD or FCCPT.

I hope you have some solution.
Thanking you

hi naresh,
i m aphysio working in delhi .would likr to know if u did some extra courses in science to meet the credits. did u apply through some agency.

Look ICd and Fccpt have no concern with MSc degree.it is the requirement of the state u are applying .
so apply for new york and michigan because they accepts BSPT and dont require so much general and professional credits.

which is best FCCPT or ICD?????

Have guys have you heard about the update of credit points in CWET in FSBPT,,,,, will this require you to have a masteral degree or still the same as before ,,,,,what do you think is the drawback of this new credit points specially to those who are just about to apply for credential evaluation????

Hey Guys, do you know where can I get PT masters online?It's not actually a requirement but I want to take one. plus points;)
Thanks!

I'm new in this forum and would like to know a few things. I do have a 4.5 yrs bachelors degree and a Masters degree in PT from India. I'm currently in Dallas, TX on a dependent visa and would like to get my credentials evaluated by FCCPT/ICDEL/etc. and then take the NPTE and apply to the TX board.

Does anyone know if I don't get approved by FCCPT, would I be able to work as a PTA? If yes, what kind of visa would I need to be able to work as a PTA? Also, would working as a PTA be sufficient or would I still need to take the extra credits (if I don't meet the credits requirements) to be able to apply for a PT license.

Any ideas?
CS.

Hi!
I just qualified in July past and i'm just becoming more and more annoyed at the awful job situation over here.

I was thinking about working in the USA but was wondering if any one has been through the process before and has any advice on how to go about it.

Unfortunately my university DID NOT give me a respiratory placement so NZ is out of the question. USA seems to be my only hope at the minute :(

Ive read the fccpt and fsbpt sites but any help and advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

Fccpt / icd/ ica/ .for cgfns you should have masters to obtain visa screen
