Built for aspiring school leaders in Florida who already have a master’s degree, this program accelerates your path to principal licensure by evaluating your existing credits and creating a custom pathway with only the courses you still need to meet Florida standard requirements. Whether it’s three or 30* credits, we’ll help you obtain your credentials and prepare to pass the Florida Educational Leadership Examination.
Note: We offer free credit evaluations to help you keep as many previous credits as possible. While we recommend obtaining a Statement of Eligibility from Florida, we can do a credit review without it.
