Florida's Educator Preparation Institutes
Minimize

Educator Preparation Institutes (EPIs) are specialized teacher training programs that may be offered at any accredited Florida community college, university or private college. Colleges may create an EPI to provide any or all of the following types of training:

  • Professional development opportunities to assist teachers in improving classroom instruction and in meeting certification requirements
  • Instruction to assist potential and existing substitute teachers in performing their duties
  • Instruction to assist paraprofessionals in meeting education and training requirements
  • Instruction for baccalaureate degree holders to become certified teachers through competency-based alternative certification programs.

Each of the Florida colleges below has an EPI approved for the types of training listed beside the institution. Four-year institutions also offer bachelor’s and advanced degree programs in many areas of education that are not included in the institution’s EPI. You may contact the institution(s) directly for more information.
