Accredited Online Teacher Certification Program Cost

HOW MUCH DOES THE PROGRAM COST?

The total program cost is $4,399. Some states have a different pricing structure and the cost is less than $4399. Visit the state you want to be certified in to get all the program details for your specific state.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY TO GET STARTED?

There are two plans: Monthly Payments and Deferred Option.

The monthly payment option requires a $99 enrollment fee and a commitment to $99 monthly payments while completing the program. By choosing this option you are provided a $500 discount from the total program fees. Once the field experience begins the payments will increase in order to pay your balance in full by the end of the two semesters. Once you are hired, the payment amount will increase from $99 to ensure that your balance is paid in nine (on average) even monthly payments.

The deferred option requires a $250 enrollment fee but no other payments are made until you have secured a teaching position. Once you are hired the  balance is paid in nine even monthly payments.

 

CAN I USE FINANCIAL AID?

No, iteach is not an institution of higher education. Therefore, the program does not qualify for financial aid.

Field Experience Required for Teacher Certification

DOES ITEACH PLACE ME IN A TEACHING JOB?

No. Teacher hiring decisions are made by school principals and district administrators. Therefore, no teacher certification program, including iteach can guarantee you a teaching position.

iteach does provide you with the hiring document to prospective employers that you are eligible for a Temporary License; this is an essential part of the application process for unlicensed teachers. In addition, we provide information about the school hiring process and notify candidates about teacher openings to give you the best chance of finding a teaching job.
