What is CPT?

Educational universities in USA authorize international students with F1 visa to gain work experience while studying through Curricular Practical Training (CPT). According to University of Florida CPT is described as “alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, clerkship, or optional/required internship or practicum, available only while the student is in F-1 status, before completion of the educational objective.”

The CPT program must be completed prior to the completion of an academic program or degree. During CPT program, you can go with part time (20 hours or less) or full time (over 20 hours); paid or unpaid internship, job offer or cooperative (co-op) education. On completion of CPT, students are eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT) wherein they are allowed to work for extra period between 1 to 1.5 years in the United States of America.
