You care about the health and welfare of others and spend your days improving their lives. But, your career involves long shifts and strange work hours. If you have thought about making a change, you can still make a difference by becoming a teacher.
You have the ability to be calm, be patient, communicate well and solve problems. You have the skills to be flexible enough to work around interruptions and unexpected events that come up when working around young kids. So, you would be a pro at calming students down and keeping the classroom under control. And, teachers have consistent schedules and summer vacations, something you don't have now. If you are looking to make a difference in a new way, schools are looking for you!

*in 10 Monthly Payments After You Are Hired
You do not pay this fee until you are employed as a teacher. It is then payable in monthly installments of $390 per month over 10 months.
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.
