ABCTE can help you change careers and become a teacher in Utah. In November 2004, the Utah State Board of Education approved ABCTE as a route to full teacher licensure. The Utah State Office of Education fully recognizes ABCTE certification for all school districts and charter schools in the state.

Why Choose ABCTE?

ABCTE offers a flexible, affordable route to earning a Utah teaching certificate. You can complete our self-paced program online without quitting your job or taking additional college courses.

ABCTE has issued more than 2,000 certifications. An ABCTE special education teacher was recently featured in the New York Times. Meet more career changers who chose ABCTE such as math teacher Kelly Bow, special education teacher Leah Dow, biology teacher Nick Gastelcutto and English teacher Chuck Foster.

With ABCTE, you can earn your Utah teacher certification in a manner that is both cost-effective and efficient. On average, candidates take 8-10 months to complete the program. We provide a variety of resources to help prepare you for exams including online workshops, practice tests, and support from our advising team. ABCTE costs $1995 for initial preparation and testing. Other alternative routes in Utah require a bachelor's degree in the subject you wish to teach which could lead to thousands of dollars in tuition costs.

You will work with Utah's Alternate Routes to Licensure Program (ARL) to obtain a letter of qualification allowing you to apply for a teaching job. Be sure to contact the Utah State Office of Education for initial guidance. You can complete Utah's ARL Program before, after, or concurrently with your ABCTE certification.
