GETTING YOUR TEACHING STAFF CERTIFIED

A NETA-certified teaching staff is the benchmark of quality in the enrichment industry.  Certification of your teaching staff can be accomplished with no direct cost to your organization.  Private enrichment companies, summer camps, YMCAs, private studios, PTA programs, day care centers, private and public schools, municipal enrichment programs, et al, all enjoy the benefits of increased public safety, heightened teacher competency and professionalism, and reduction of exposure to liability by having a NETA certified teaching staff.

There are two options by which you can get your teaching staff certified.

OPTION # 1:             ONLINE TESTING     $140

OPTION # 2:             PENCIL TO PAPER TESTING          $140

Pencil to Paper testing is the traditional, time-honored approach to formal examination.  The first step is to check the Calendar for an upcoming test date.  You may choose an exam in any state regardless of where you reside.  Once you have selected a test date & location complete, sign and mail in your NETA Certification Exam Registration Form and tuition to reserve your space.  Remember, if you signed up for PREP COURSE 201 Instructor Competency Education Intensive, the tuition you paid for the course covers the testing fee for the NETA Certification Exam as well as one complimentary re-test if you fail to pass the exam. 

All formal policies, procedures and regulations for the examination are found in the certification guide.
