Indiana PT and PTA license renewal and continuing competency
Indiana rule 842 IAC 1-7-1, as shown on the Professional Licensing Agency’s physical therapy licensing page, states: “Twenty-two (22) hours of continuing competency activities are required for the biennial renewal period, of which two (2) hours must be in an ethics and Indiana jurisprudence course as it relates to the practice of physical therapy.”

Source read on November 12, 2026: the Physical Therapy Licensing Information page of the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency.
Cycle
“Physical Therapy licenses and Physical Therapy Assistant certifications expire on June 30 of even-numbered years.” Renewal notices go out about 90 days before expiration (paraphrased).
First renewal
If a license or certification is valid for less than 12 months, no continuing competency is required. From 12 to 23 months, 12 hours are required, including the 2-hour ethics and Indiana jurisprudence course (paraphrased).
What counts
“These hours must be obtained within the renewal period and cannot be carried over from one renewal period to another.” Organizations such as APTA, the APTA Indiana Chapter, and FSBPT are approved sponsors, and the committee approves other activities that relate directly to physical therapy practice, management, or education (paraphrased).
