Is it OK to have a PT verify hours that you did at a different location?

I completed some hours at a wellness and fitness setting that does not have a PT on staff. The coordinator is willing to testify to the
hours to my PT, then I was thinking my PT could verify the hours on PTCAS?

Has anyone done this before or do you know if this is acceptable?

Thanks,

No, you can't. A PT that did not supervise you cannot verify the hours that you did under a different PT.

goyo, from what I gathered the OP says it was just a fitness & wellness center with no PT on staff... Thus, whatever volunteering they did wasn't even with a PT at all... But no, you can't have another PT verify for someone else either.
