Minimum Requirements to Teach

To teach, we require teachers to have knowledge of the particular subject being taught. For many classes, this knowledge may be the result of work experience, formal education or training, or self-directed knowledge.

Some classes have education requirements such as an associate's or bachelor's degree, while others may require a license or certification such as an LVN or RN or a licensed real estate salesperson. These requirements depend on the specific class.

For all instructors, strong interpersonal skills, a good sense of humor, flexibility, a desire to share ideas with people of all ages, sex and cultural backgrounds, and good writing and speaking skills are the necessary combination for a successful experience.
