For Florida Educators
Florida ESOL/ELL Endorsement
Schultz offers all mandated State of Florida ESOL Endorsement courses to meet the requirements for teachers of ESOL/ELLs. Included are the five 60 hour ESOL courses needed to complete the full 300-hour ESOL/ELL Endorsement. All Schultz ESOL/ELL Endorsement courses for Florida educators meet the requirement for district add-on for public school teachers. These courses are offered online for 8-10 weeks for the low fee of $185 per course and are facilitated online via Blackboard. Educators won’t find a more effective way to obtain their ESOL Certification in Florida.
Fast Track and Express courses are available during select registration periods for an additional fee. Courses can be taken for in-service credit or for your Florida school district’s approved add-on program.

Per section 1012.575, F.S., only school districts have statutory authority to have state approved add-on endorsement programs whereby teachers can complete the endorsement requirements via inservice points. All other (including non-public) school teachers can add an endorsement to their certificate, but only through the college credit route. Private school teachers may take the “endorsement” courses offered for inservice points, but they won’t be able to use them to add the endorsement to their certificate.
