How We Help
Researching a career in Occupational Therapy takes considerable effort and leads to a big decision in your life.
Once you decide to get started on your education, we know how difficult it can be to compare OTA Schools online.
Then upon graduation, figuring out all of the requirements for your Stateâs OTA License Application can be difficult because many school and government websites donât function well, are out of date and are not easy to navigate.
On top of this, learning which city you would receive the highest compensation in and finding jobs in that location is also time consuming.
So, the OTA Guide was created to help you find all of the information you need to receive a certified Occupational Therapy Assistant Education from an ACOTE accredited college, become a licensed OTA in your state and find OTA jobs in your industry and location.
All in one place. Quickly and easily.
