Over the phone

Students who wish to register for the IBEC over the phone can do so by calling the Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) office. A CPE representative will help you register and take payment information over the phone.

There is no registration deadline. Students can register on-line at any time. Unlike other courses at DePaul that run on a quarterly basis, the IB Educator Certificate enrolls on a rolling basis.  When a student is ready they can register immediately and not have to wait for cohort to form.

We know teachers lead busy lives. The course is student-paced so it fits into your schedule. You complete the 4 online modules when you have time. As a guideline, we say it may take between 6 and 22 weeks. Some students are able to take advantage of holidays and school breaks to move through the course fairly quickly. Others take their time. Either way works for us. All the materials are there when you need them. 

Yes. As this is an IB course we are keenly aware that many students will be from outside of the United States. We have had students enroll in the course from many countries across the globe. Some student have opted to take a TOEFL course prior to enrollment, but this not a requirement.
