Temporary License Requirements/Availability[edit | edit source]

Temporary License is currently not available in Florida but will become available effective June 1, 2012 by House Bill 799 that was approved April 8, 2012.


This bill allows Physical Therapy or PTA students who have graduated from approved programs obtain a temporary license while waiting to sit for their board exam.

The requirements for PT students with temporary licensure include on site supervision by a PT (who can only supervise one person with a temporary license at a time).  The temporary license will be revoked if the board exam is not passed within 6 months of graduation.
