What our teachers have to say
These stories show what happens when you have real support on the path to becoming a teacher.

“The team at 240 Certification is professional, helpful, and always available to answer questions. Their support made the process feel seamless. The advisors are knowledgeable, and the program is both well-structured and informative.”

Yes! 240 Certification offers both payment plans and discount options to make the program more affordable:
No, 240 Certification does not offer a deferred payment plan that starts after your teaching internship. However, we keep costs low from the start—offering one of the most affordable programs in Texas, often saving you hundreds or even thousands compared to other programs with deferred payment options.
No, ACPs like 240 Certification do not accept federal financial aid or offer student loan deferments, since they are not institutions of Higher Education like colleges or universities. However, ACPs are designed to be much more affordable, with lower upfront costs and flexible payment options—most candidates finish paying before they’re even certified.
Unfortunately, no. The VA has reclassified all alternative certification programs—including 240 Certification—as non-institutions of higher learning since they are not colleges or universities. As a result, Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits cannot be used toward our program.
However, we offer a military discount and affordable payment options to help make the program accessible for veterans, active service members, and their spouses.
Free to apply
You bring the passion. We’ll bring the plan and walk with you every step of the way.
“240 is so helpful and kind in this journey for me to become a teacher. I feel prepared and inspired to be the best 4th grade math teacher that I can be. Y’all are the best and I just wanted to say thank you!”
