Looking for a New Career After Serving Our Country?

School Principals are Looking for Real-World Leaders

School principals know that you have a commitment to serving others. You put others before yourself, and you want to make a difference in the world. Your experience and real-world knowledge of being in the military can make a difference in a young person's life.

Service Doesn't Have to End When You Take the Uniform Off

Your military experience is a great opportunity for kids to learn from you!

It's easy for people to talk the talk, but not many actually walk the walk. Your personal military experience lends itself perfectly for being a teacher. Who else can actually speak with your type of real-life experience, bring subjects to life, and help students realize their potential? School districts are looking for people just like you!

When you receive your first job as a teacher of record, ECAP assigns an advisor to you. You will have access to your advisor throughout the year as you need them, and the advisor will visit your classroom periodically to make sure that you are being successful.

Your advisor’s primary mission is to make you a successful teacher. Our advisors’ resumes speak for themselves. Most of them are retired school administrators who were hand-picked by ECAP. The quality of our advisors is the primary difference between ECAP and our competitors. Also included in this fee is the documenting of your qualification and recommending of certificates as needed during the program.

ECAP is always communicating with partnering school districts and with the Texas Education Agency on behalf of our interns to make sure that you remain in compliance with state and local rules.

Once all your fees have been paid in full, you will be issued your Standard Certificate.
