How It Works
Certification Central is a self-paced, enroll anytime program. To get started, simply complete the application. You will need to upload unofficial transcripts/certificates from all institutions attended. If you do not have the special education core coursework, you will begin with SPED Module 2 Legal/Ethical Practices & Professional Learning. If you do have this core, you will begin with Behavior Module 1 Methods & Applications for Behavior Support & Programming. After you have demonstrated all competencies with proficiency, you will advance to the next module. As denoted above, the practicum/internship requirement is integrated throughout each module in order to connect content to authentic, real-life experiences.
Pricing
Graduate credit cost is $300/credit for each module except SPED 900 which is valued at $200/credit
The Traineeship Scholarship Program is for those who already have a ND teaching license and want to add a special education endorsement.
