where can I get an online accredited teaching certificate?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reputable colleges that offer distance learning education leading to a teaching certificate.  First, which state's teaching certificate do you hope to earn?  Go to that state's department of education home page and look for certification requirements.  Many states will include a list of colleges with state-approved programs.  You can also try inserting keywords into your browser's search engine like "new jersey secondary certification distance education" or something similar.  You will get tens of thousands of hits.  I would then go to the advanced preferences setting and limit my search to .edu domains.  There are many books at Amazon that you could purchase that feature guides to online degrees.   Be sure to get one that is no more than a year old.  Major universities around the nation, and zillions of smaller ones, are adding new routes to certification via distance ed. And many programs are far cheaper than traditional, in-person schools.  No room and board!  No lab or health clinic fees!  No parking stickers!  But the VERY most important thing?  Make absolutely sure that the institution is fully accredited by a recognized accrediting board!  If the school isn't accredited, all your hard work and money will be wasted!!  Good luck--I personally think distance ed is the wave of the future in education.  I am working on a Master's degree in Science Ed--in my jammies!

There is no such thing as free accredited online programs. They might only be free if you qualify for federal grants to cover your programs. Try www.tesc.edu. That is the website for Thomas Edison State College. They are regionally accredited and offer online classes and programs. They are not very expensive but they do offer federal financial aid to those who qualify.

The best one I know is Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada.  It has been around for a very long time and specialized in distance learning more than 30 years ago.  It is very well recognized.

All real accrediated programs that will get you your certification is not online..  Mot of thie training is in practical and you will have to find a local physcial school and do study there.\n\nMedvance is one of the leading schools as is many major universities

I myself haven't earned a degree online, but I've heard that Phoenix University (put that in a search box and you should be able to find it) is totally online.  I'm currently seriously thinking of going to my local ITT tech college.  Go to their website and find your nearest branch.  All you need to go there is a GED or highschool Diploma.  And financial aid unless you plan on writing them a check.

U want to study to be a teacher online? Theres nothing better than learning from a real classroom situation. What country do you want to study in? I would definately suggest going to a university that will provide you with placements within a school.

Hi! If you really would like to know more about Accreditation, you really need to check out www.ed.gov, any schools that are nationally recognized will be in this web site, your school could well indeed be accredited, and excepted world wide, but if the accreditation is not one that is recognized by the board of education in the United States, you might just be taking courses and waisting your money unless you plan to use that degree over seas some where. Do not get fooled, by advertisments or blogs that claims that you can get a degree online by using Work Life Experience, or just because it claims to be accredited, like I said check out www.ed.gov, it will answer your questions better than I can....

that is really an open question.  are you trying to find online classes that are from an accredited college?  or, are you trying to find online classes that teach different trades?

I took what was then called the COTE (Certificate for Overseas Teachers of English) which is very similar to what you wish to take.  I would highly recommend any Teacher Training course that Cambridge University has to offer.  They are experts in the field and it shows.  These types of courses are very practical.  You will be able to apply everything you have learned immediately.   I hope this helps.

Try the university of ATHABASCA in Alberta, Canada.  They do online/distant learning too, and are highly recommended!
