How Does It Work?
To earn your certification, you will follow three steps:
Complete the online coursework
Enhance your classroom skills with online coursework designed by expert educators to help you make a tremendous impact with your students.
Complete Your Field Work
In most cases, you can complete your field hours in your own classroom, working with a fellow teacher or school administrator as your mentor.
Pass the certification exams
On your next visit to the United States, take and pass the three Florida Teacher Certification Exams. We will advise you in this process and coach you to succeed.
