FCCPT issues a P1F certificate for PT licensure applicants and a P1G certificate for PTA licensure applicants.
The P1F certificate is issued only after completing a Type 1 for Licensure service and determining that your education is substantially equivalent to a U.S. entry-level PT degree.
The P1G certificate is issued only after completed a PTA EER service and determining that your education is substantially equivalent to a U.S. entry-level PTA degree.
If the certificate is issued, FCCPT emails the P1F or P1G certificate directly to the California Physical Therapy Board. You are not responsible for submitting the certificate.
