Yes! 240 Certification offers both payment plans and discount options to make the program more affordable:
Yes. While the overall tuition remains the same, the field experience fees differ:
So, the clinical teaching route is less expensive in terms of field experience fees, but keep in mind it’s an unpaid placement, unlike the internship.
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.
You bring the passion. We’ll bring the plan and walk with you every step of the way.
