Is this legit? http://www.abcte.org/teach - Stevedistancelearner - 05-17-2011

I'm looking for a legit online program that will provide me with a teaching qualification at a reasonable cost.

Does anyone have any info. on http://www.abcte.org/teach

Or any other legit online program. I'm willing to relocate to another state to teach. Or another country (Australia, etc) if I have to. I want a degree that is recognized. Thanks.

Steve

Quote:ABCTE is a state approved route to full teacher certification in Florida, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee & Utah.

Quote:ABCTE is a rigorous certification program where only 40% of candidates complete the program

Looks like a legit non-profit program for the 11 states they claim to be approved in. My concern would be the alleged "rigor" that prevents 60% of the students from completing the program. Something tells me they aren't giving refunds to everyone who flunks out.
