Approved Credentialing Agencies

Texas accepts educational evaluations only from the credentialers listed on this page.

To be accepted by the Board, your evaluation must be completed using the FSBPT Coursework Tool (CWT). Applicants by examination must be evaluated using the most current version of the CWT. Applicants by endorsement must be evaluated using the version of the CWT appropriate to the year the applicant graduated from the foreign physical therapy program or a more current version. 

For more information on CWTs click here.

The credentialer must send a copy of your evaluation directly to the Board. We cannot accept your copy of the evaluation and cannot comment on your evaluation until we receive our copy from the credentialer.
