ECAP's online offering is getting more robust everyday. With the rollout of our Intern Personal Information Page(IPIP), ECAP Interns have the ability to track their program status from the day of acceptance.
In addition to the program courses required by current Interns, ECAP's public TExES reviews are used by new applicants and even other alternative certification programs to prepare for the TExES content and PPR exam(s).
