The correct term is physical therapist assistant and you must have a license. No such term as an assistant physical therapist.

Below a p.t.a is a physical therapy aide (usually in nursing home "unskilled" on the job training), as physical therapy technicians are no longer legal due to "abusing" them (cheaper without a license). P.ta.'s work under the supervision of a physical therapist. Good pay for short amount of school however you are limited to that job specifically as it is a "technical" job and not really any easily accessible bridging programs (unless you live in Ohio or California) to become a physical therapist if you so want to later.

But when there is sough competition to get a job you need to attend some of the courses which you can do it online as well. Hope it helps.
