New! CLASS Accelerated Bundle

Through the CLASS Accelerated Bundle, CLASS candidates can now pursue multiple teaching licenses at the same time at a reduced cost. If you're ready to launch your career in two high-need areas of education, this is your chance to make it happen—faster and more affordably than ever.

Who Is This For?
This bundled option is for candidates pursuing two simultaneous licensure areas:

K–9 Elementary + Bilingual Education
Early Childhood Elementary + Early Childhood Special Education
PE + Adaptive PE (+ Health via our P raxis II Ready option)

These are among the most in-demand educator preparation pathways—and now you can pursue both at once. You still get the same at-your-own-pace online courses and licensed expert teachers while maximizing learning efficiency.

How Much Do You Save?
The total cost is $13,000. Compared to the $16,500+ cost if you purchase licensure programs separately, the CLASS Accelerated Bundle helps you become the educator you strive to be by providing both an initial and add-on license.

The bundle offers 12-month and 24-month flexible payment plans.

If you have questions or want to enroll in a bundle not listed here, reach out to class@cesa2.org.

Testimonials

CLASS is a great fit for me because the online components make it easy to balance work, family, and school. The availability of the professor makes it easy to ask questions and obtain feedback. I am pleased with my decision to enter CLASS for continuing education. -Mari A

Participating in the CLASS program has been an amazing experience for me. The entire program is extremely well organized and the on-line modules/assignments are easy to understand. Coaching support is built into the course which is very helpful. Being able to work at your own pace is also extremely beneficial. Our CLASS teacher is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. -Pam E

As a teacher who is already employed by a school district, CLASS has been an excellent fit for my busy schedule since the program flexibility allows me to work my full-time job and to work at my own agreed-upon pace on my licensure plan. My CLASS Coach Tere has been a wonderful resource for guiding me through real-time questions about the program and module coursework. The videos, articles, and books have given me a very well-rounded educational experience and granted me new access to hands-on educational resources and strategies that I can implement daily in my classroom with my students. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking into adding on an ESL license to their current teaching license. -Akiko G
