Bridge Course Upgrade for 24 Hours

Cost: $25*

Do you need to upgrade your 24 – Hour Certificate of Completion to a 50 – Hour Certificate? 

This Bridge program/course/workshop is designed for participants who have completed the 24 – Hour workshop and wish to upgrade to a 50 – Hour certificate. You will earn the additional 26 hours needed by: conducting a 20-hour field experience; preparing a lesson plan; preparing a reflective observation journal. 

*If your 24 – Hour workshop was completed at Kean University, there is no charge for this service. Those who earned their certificates at other institutions must pay a $25 administrative fee for the upgrade. Proof of completing the 24 - Hour is required. 

Upon completion of the Bridge Course Upgrade, a Verification of Program form (VOPC) will be issued to all participants. This form must be submitted to prospective employers at the District level. A final VOPC form will be sent to the certification Office from the Department of Education after all requirements are completed and the District nominates you for the standard license.

Please Note: Candidates with a CE in P-3 or ESL who register for this course are expected to continue with the Kean’s CE program for the remainder of the 400-hour course of study. This is not a standalone course.
