Therefore PTA's must have good communication and social skills. Educationally you can take continuing education courses. Your increasing competence may allow you to take increased treatment responsibilities. Nobody can promise a job to anyone for sure, but our experience has been that graduates of the Oakton PTA program have been able to get jobs in the field. The outlook is good in PTA it is in most health careers.
Jobs are most plentiful in large metropolitan areas, and PTAs are in demand in rural areas as well.
Since concerns about health care are everywhere, jobs should be possible in other parts of the country. A PTA must work under the supervision of a PT and has completed two years of training at an accredited school, such as Oakton. A PT has completed a four or five year training program which has highly competitive admission standards. Submit a Health Care Program application to Oakton which gives PTA as you choice of curriculum. Do this the fall of the year before you want to attend the program.
