Welcome to the Educator Preparation Institute at Broward College.
The Educator Preparation Institute is a program for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree in any field other than education and would like to work toward a Professional Certificate in Teaching in the state of Florida. This program prepares students to enter the classroom.
