Educator Preparation Institute

The Educator Preparation Institute (EPI)prepares students who have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution for certification as classroom teacher. EPI classes meet entirely online for two semesters beginning in the fall and ending in the spring. Two 15 hour K-12 Field Experiences are also required during the spring term.

EPI coursework prepares students for the Professional Education Exam, one of the Florida State Teacher Certification requirements. To earn the EPI certificate, students must also pass a Subject Area Exam for each area they desire to teach and a General Knowledge Exam.

Successful completers will earn 21 institutional credits and a completion certificate from Pensacola State College.

For additional information, please contact Mary Louise Winter, EPI Program Coordinator, at mlwinter@pensacolastatecollege.edu or visit the EPI website at http://epi.pensacolastate.edu
