This study set out to evaluate the physical therapy college's level of satisfaction and preparedness for introducing hybrid learning. For three days, data collection took place. Initially, the participants were given a questionnaire to complete and a personal demographic sheet (PDS). Thirty-five persons were able to participate in the study. The bulk of responders were female, single, and enrolled in Level 2 bachelor of science programs in physical therapy. They ranged in age from 18 to 21. The majority of respondents, 74.29% of whom were young adults and 76% of whom were female, were determined to be between the ages of 18 and 21. Second-year students made up 56.25 percent of the responses, compared to 43.75 percent of third-year students. With a mean score of 5.00, the populace is well-prepared for online learning and instruction. Multimedia device preparedness strategies are frequently implemented in universities, and blended learning systems boost student productivity. Instructors are aware of parental permission policies and safety protocols, and the majority of respondents are proficient in utilizing digital technologies for teamwork and communication. Students give hybrid learning an average rating of 3.92, indicating that they are quite happy. They look forward to in-person classes and find support in the upbeat attitudes of their peers. Even though online learning has limitations such as digitized texts, limited contact, and no in-person support, it is frequently compared to traditional classroom instruction. According to the study, 32% of students said that face-to-face classes were inspiring and effective, and 31% thought that they understood the material better
