Provisional Teacher Programs

In the Provisional Teacher Programs (PTP) we aim to pursue total peace of mind for our candidates through education, comprehensive real-time instruction, and a better online experience. This mission statement is not just words on a website; it’s what we believe in our hearts and what we live by every day.

Today, 250 provisional teacher candidates later, we still put personalized service first. And it shows. Two-thirds of our business comes to us by person-to-person recommendation or from previous teachers. We focus on the real aspects of online learning.
