Alabama requires classroom experience
The state mandates you work in a district to earn your CCTF certificate. #TEACH is built exactly for that — so you're earning a full salary from the start, not waiting on the sidelines.
Less than half the coursework
20 credit hours versus 48+ at most colleges. That's the same certification, in half the academic load, while you're already in the classroom doing the job.
Start any time — no waiting
Rolling enrollment means you don't have to wait for the next semester to begin. Apply today, start your coursework, and get placed in a classroom fast.
100% online, built for working adults
Every course is designed to fit around your schedule. No commuting to a campus. No sitting in lecture halls. Just focused, flexible coursework that supports your real classroom experience.
