Program Cost and Fees

Region 4 Inspire Texas teacher training includes a built-in network of education professionals who contribute not only to your preparation as a teacher but also to professional development throughout your career in education. Unlike many other programs, Region 4 Inspire Texas provides more than just training. Your fees include expert instructor-led coursework and Quality Matters^© certified curriculum, class cohorts, mentorships, free job fairs, the ability to certify in other areas of education, and direct resources from our parent organization—Region 4 Education Service Center.

Upon acceptance into our program, you have the option of paying your pre-service training fee in monthly installments. The remaining balance is not due until you land your first teaching job (Internship or Clinical Teaching). We do our best to provide affordable solutions for you while you're on your journey to getting your teacher certification.
