Travel therapists are expected to already be trained. The travel company does not have their own therapist to train you. A travel company acts as a middle man for a variety of companies. The companies they help to staff specifically want help that can go into a rehab facility and begin working without having to train them. That is why they pay the travel company a lot of money to find a skilled therapist. Otherwise, they would wait until a full time therapist can be hired and train them.
