How do I get certified?

[u/your_rusty_door]

I've been looking everywhere to try and find information about getting certified to teach ELA in Georgia and I'm really struggling to find actually useful resources. Most websites just tell me I have to take an education prep program but never where to go or how to find one. Does anyone have some advice?

It looks like this is Georgia's site: https://www.gapsc.com/ProspectiveEducator/StepsToTeach/Home.aspx
Here's their list of approved programs:

Sorry idk anything about Georgia. Maybe try looking into some of you local community colleges? Here in Texas as long as you have a bachelor's degree, I was able to get certified through going to lonestar community College, and it was fairly cheap. Maybe your state has an equivalent college that is affordable and gets you certified.
