Champlain College’s Teacher Apprenticeship Program (TAP) is designed for individuals with a bachelor’s degree, strong content knowledge, and work experience who are interested in pursuing a teaching career. This eight-month, non-degree certificate program includes coursework and student teaching with a mentor teacher. TAP prepares candidates to become licensed directly through the Vermont Agency of Education (VT AOE).
After years in a job that didn’t suit me, I decided to take the leap and change careers. TAP was there every step of the way, supporting and guiding me through the exciting journey of becoming a teacher. I now feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
