Sound familiar?

Built for career changers who are almost there.

Texas lets you certify in a subject when you can show enough college coursework in it. If your degree is in something else, that's the gap between you and your Statement of Eligibility.

The career changer

Your degree is in business, but you want to teach Math 7–12. A few accredited math courses close the distance between your transcript and your certification field.

The para or substitute

You're already in the classroom every day. Add the content hours in your subject so you can move from supporting a teacher to being one.

The exam-ready planner

Real college coursework in your field means you walk into the TExES content exam prepared, not cramming a subject you've never formally studied.

Course catalog

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Will these courses count toward my 240 certification field?
PrereqCourses is an official articulation partner of 240 Certification, and our courses carry accredited college credit through Upper Iowa University. Your 240 Program Advisor makes the final call on which credits your specific certification field requires, so confirm your course plan with them; we're happy to coordinate directly.
How fast can I finish a course?
Courses are self-paced. Motivated students working steadily often finish in a matter of weeks; others take a few months alongside a full-time job. Either way, you start on the 1st of the month rather than waiting for a college semester.
Is the credit really accredited?
Yes. All courses are delivered through Upper Iowa University, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Credit appears on an official UIU transcript, the same as any other college coursework.
How much do courses cost?
Our pricing runs up to 70% less than typical college tuition for the same credit. Visit prereqcourses.com for current per-course pricing, and remember you only take the courses you actually need.
I'm not sure which courses I need. Who do I ask?
Start with your 240 Program Advisor; they'll identify your certification field and any coursework gap. Then reach out to us at support@prereqcourses.com or 1-833-656-1651 and we'll match the gap to specific courses.
