The courses in the credential programs are designed to help you develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful classroom teacher. Your courses may be taken online or at a campus (when available).Weekly attendance is required whether you take a credential course on ground or online. On ground classes meet for three hours each week.  Our online courses include mandatory weekly hour long synchronous meetings that occur in the evening and provide you with an opportunity to interact with your instructors and peers from across the state.

 

The Brandman credential programs are considered accelerated programs. Each three unit courses requires 45 hours contact time over 8 weeks. This means you need to budget your time and  be ready for keep up with your course assignments and attend required class sessions.  If you don’t complete the required assignments in the first two weeks of the course you will be dropped from the class.
