Paraeducator Certificate Program
The Paraeducator Certification Program (PCP) is a one to six semester (18 credit) program designed for those seeking to become or increase their skills as a paraeducator. The program is offered at Weber State. Some tuition funding may be available for eligible students through Financial Aid. Students are able to earn the PCP as a standalone achievement or part of a continuous career plan leading to an associate degree and eventually a teaching license and bachelor’s degree. PCP combines evidence-based instructional practices with work-based learning opportunities to leverage theory and practice in a targeted training program that increases knowledge, skills, and application in classroom settings. PCP adheres to ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø and USBE Paraeducator Standards and Competencies. Courses may be available in online, blended, and traditional formats during the day and evening.
