Frequently Asked Questions

You may apply at any time; iteach enrolls students on a continual basis.

No. No matter what bachelor’s degree you have, it’s your subject matter expertise, combined with your successful completion of our program, that makes you eligible to teach. We’ll teach you what you need to know and do in order to be a successful teacher yourself.

You must pass the AEPA/NES Exam in your desired content area or be approved by admissions to use your major in that content area.

No, iteach is not an institution of higher education. Therefore, the program does not qualify for financial aid.

You can complete all program-required instructional coursework within as little as three months. The entire iteach program, including your teaching residency, is designed to be completed within one school year. However, you have two full school years to find a teaching position as long as you are enrolled in the iteach program. Once hired, you must complete all program requirements during your two-semester field experience.
