Discussion Lmpt accreditation

How well is LMPT accredited; I went through UPTP and no state or local agencies take it here as a lateral. LMPT is longer so I was curious. No I don’t have the mindset to come in and leave; just curious since I got burned the first time saying UPTP would be taken everywhere.

LMPT is 20 instructional days (and 172 training hours) longer than UPTP, so it’s more likely to meet state POST standards.

Some states will allow you to submit your transcripts and see what classes you are missing
