Central Georgia Technical College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) is a competitive, hands-on degree that prepares students to work under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. Located in Warner Robins, Macon, and Milledgeville—key hubs for healthcare in central Georgia—the program admits 14 students per year and awards an Associate Degree upon completion.
Spanning approximately five semesters, the curriculum combines classroom instruction with clinical experiences across local healthcare settings. Students complete around 69 credit hours covering foundational sciences, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy techniques, wound management, functional training, and use of physical agents. The program emphasizes professionalism and lifelong learning—skills valued by area employers like Houston Healthcare and Navicent Health.

Recent National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) first-time pass rates have ranged from about 69% to over 85%, with a two-year ultimate pass rate of 96%. This demonstrates strong preparation for state licensure requirements. Tuition remains affordable through CGTC’s technical college system; detailed cost breakdowns are available on their website along with financial aid resources.

Graduates enjoy excellent job prospects throughout Middle Georgia’s growing medical sector—including hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers—and can benefit from CGTC’s robust career services network.

Accredited by CAPE since 2020 and led by Dr. Mary Walker (mawalker@centralgatech.edu), this PTA program offers both quality education and deep ties to the region’s health community.
