Which is a shorter route for me to get the certification in Florida
Is online education system good enough for my goal as I cannot attend a full time college with my 2 kids.
Which is a good online university for my needs.
Thankyou
Answer I am sorry, but I do not know anything about University training in India. You can easily find out what is needed for certification in Florida, USA by contacting the State of Florida Department of Education. Their website has all of the information you requested and is easily accessed at
www.fldoe.org.
In terms of good on line Universities, I would also suggest that you contact them (Florida Department of Education) for a good University whose credits they recognize as legitimate. Before enrolling in an on-line program, be sure that the classes you take will count toward your certification and that the University is a reputable one.
