There are a number community colleges that offer this program of study. It is typically a two year associate of applied science degree. Remember, although it is a good solid career, it will be a transfer program toward a bachelor's degree if you so choose to do this at a later date. It is basically a terminal degree.

How long do you have to go to school to become a physical therapist?

There are community colleges that offer an associate in applied science as a physical therapy assistant. This would take approximately two years to complete as a full-time student. However, this type of degree is by in large a terminal degree. If you decide to transfer to another college or university almost none of the coursework will transfer. Thus, make very sure this is what you want to do. If you wish to continue your education in the future - for example - to become a physical therapist, or to obtain a bachelor's degree in any other area, then understand this might not be your best choice. That being said, if this is what you truly want to do and understand what I have stated in the above, then I can tell you it is a good field to be in especially if you enjoy helping people hands on, and the salary is not bad.

How long does it take to become a Physical Therapist?

It takes 7 years to become a Physical Therapist. Typically 4 years to obtain an undergraduate degree and 3 years of physical therapy school. With this you get a DPT (Doctorate in Physical Therapy) in most programs. In Canada, to become a physical therapist a student must complete a 4 year undergraduate degree, followed by a 2 year physical therapy post graduate degree. After passing board certification exams a student with this training is referred to as a licensed physical therapist. As far as I am aware, there is no doctorate program available in Canada that enables physiotherapists to become a doctor of physical therapy. However, there is at present a lobby group pushing the government to allow/recognize extension of the physical therapy program to a 4 year doctoral degree. If/when this occurs, physiotherapy will become similar to other health care doctoral programs like medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, etc., requiring 8 years of schooling and conferring the title doctor of physiotherapy.
