Alternative Teacher Certification Pricing FAQs

What investment is required to become certified?

The application is free. Once you have met with a Program Advisor and verified admission requirements and have all your questions answered, you will be sent a Formal Admission document and invoice for $195.

You will be given access to your Teachworthy portal and begin the process for your first step, preparing for your certification exams ($116 each). We point you to resources to assist your preparation and document your readiness to test ($30).

After you pass your content exams, you can move forward and begin working on your training modules, field-based experiences, and career resources. We recommend that you purchase a supporting textbook from Amazon ($20) that is a great resource for first-year teachers and pairs with the training modules.

Once you are hired as a teacher, the program fee of $3,960 is paid monthly over the course of your first year teaching. The Texas Education Agency requires certain additional fees that include your initial certification fee ($78), your finger printing fee ($52.20) and your final teaching certificate ($78).

In total, the entire investment to become certified will be between $4,662-$4,778 depending on the number of content exams you take.

When do I pay my enrollment fee of $195?

Once you have met with your Program Advisor, signed your certification plan and have decided to move forward, you will be sent a Formal Admission Letter and receive an invoice for $195.

What do I owe if I don't secure a teaching job?

Nothing is owed to Teachworthy beyond the $195 training and testing fee until you are able to secure a teaching position.
