    hi friends, I would like to know the details and experiences done by any of our IL friends. I am interested in doing teacher certification courses(Online - preferably) to do work as a teacher once i get my EAD. When i contacted universties they're guiding to do Masters in Education with almost the tution fees of 24,000$ approximately. I've Bachelors in Engineering, not interested to do job in my field. But doing masters is completely out of my budget plus can't give that much time with kids. I heard from one of my friend that there are some short courses with some hours duration which cost very less to get a entry of teacher level programs. But i didn't get full information from her as she moved from my place. Any of you guys know please do tell me with your experiences too. kindly be thankful for the information in advance.

    Hi Guys

    I am preparing to be a special education teacher K-12 (since it has high demand in US and getting an H1 visa is still easier). Every state has it's own teaching exams for example, I am in California so, I have taken CBEST and CSET to teach multiple subject at elementary level. I have also taken praxis exams (ETS.org) for teaching students with special needs. You need to pass such exams in order to get license in your state.

    Every state has it's own website for educators, you can go there and find the criteria to be a teacher in your state.

    Hope this helps.
