Program Description

With the online Temporary Special Education Certificate program from the University of West Alabama, you can earn the skills and credentials required for a meaningful career in education.

Because the program is offered entirely online through an interactive classroom, you can complete your certificate on your time while also gaining invaluable experience inside the special education classroom.

As a student, you'll learn from expert educators with real special education experience who are committed to providing you with personalized attention every step of the way. You'll build classroom-ready skills in behavior management, collaborative teaching methods, educational law and more. Additionally, you'll also have the opportunity to attend seminars on campus and complete an internship and field experience courses. When you graduate, you'll be fully equipped with the credential to take the Special Education Praxis exam with confidence and make a positive impact through teaching.
