"Once I decided that I wanted a career in education, I began searching for degree and/or licensure programs. I was frustrated by the response that I would need to get a bachelor’s degree in Education." [Full Interview]
Cindy
"Time saving was my draw into the program. That meant great money savings as well. As it turns out, the benefits of flexibility, support, and enthusiasm by those running the program is what I am most thankful for." [Full Interview]
David
"I checked with a few local colleges and even though I had a PhD, it was going to take me 3 years and 10’s of thousands of dollars to get certified. Then I discovered act! and literally got certified in less than a year and it was very affordable." [Full Interview]
Patrick
"The ACT! Program was a perfect place for me because it took into account my previous coursework and my current abilities. Other full University programs wanted me to complete a full Math for Education minor and then enter the Department of Education. This was not only too much time for me but had me retaking courses which I had mastered 20 years ago." [Full Interview]
Karla
"The act! program honored my undergraduate and graduate coursework. The classes I did need to take were offered online and at convenient times" [Full Interview]
Lisa
"The act! program staff made a great effort to make a personal connection and to try and make my transition into a new career as smooth as possible." [Full Interview]
Ryan
"The Alternative Careers in Teaching (Act!) program recognized the fact that I had extensive science background and experience and allowed me to become licensed in the areas I needed. Without the act program, I would most likely still be searching for a solution. I am very grateful!" [Full Interview]
