What is NOT a requirement for reactivating a PTA license?

Reactivating a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) license in Florida does not require having a four-year degree in physical therapy. The educational requirement for PTA licensure specifically pertains to completion of an accredited PTA program, which typically awards an associate degree, rather than a bachelor’s degree. Therefore, possessing a four-year degree is not a prerequisite for reactivating an already established PTA license.

On the other hand, certain other conditions such as paying an application fee, demonstrating competence through active practice, and completing ongoing continuing education hours are standard requirements necessary to ensure that the PTA is up-to-date with current practices and regulations in the field. Thus, the absence of a degree requirement directly supports the choice of this answer.
