The Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy (FCCPT) is a non-profit organization.

It evaluates the credentials of foreign-educated physical therapists and physical therapist assistants (FEPTs), and issues Health Care Worker Certificates to those who wish to immigrate and/or work in the United States.

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Examination

Federal regulations require the following minimum passing scores for the Internet-based TOEFL (TOEFL iBT®) and do not permit the substitution of other examinations for TOEFL.

Internet-based TOEFL Section (Total Score) Minimum Score
Composite of reading comprehension,
listening comprehension and writing 63
Speaking 26

Individual jurisdictions may have different additional requirements.

FCCPT's Institution Code is 8164, and the department is Undergraduate.

Educational Testing Service (ETS) will not report TOEFL scores that are more than two (2) years old.

Once FCCPT receives the official score report from TOEFL, it is valid for five (5) years after the original test date.

Scores that are more than five years old are no longer valid, and the test must be retaken and passed.

TOEFL Exemptions-

California has no exemptions for TOEFL.

All graduates whose first degree in PT was not completed in the United States must take the TOEFL exam if seeking licensure in California.

The federal regulation lists the following exemptions to the requirement to take the TOEFL exam:
