Act 48 in PA

In 1999, Act 48 was passed in the Pennsylvania state legislature. The law states that teachers need to stay current in their field by completing 180 hours of professional development every five years.

It’s our mission to offer the hard-working educators of Lancaster County, PA a more laidback, inexpensive approach towards maintaining their active certification. More and more teachers are discovering that our online professional development courses are not just more accessible and affordable, but also beneficial to both them and the students they serve.

Complete At Your Own Speed

Whether it’s parent-teacher conferences, lesson planning, grading tests, or your daily life, there is no denying that teachers have a busy schedule. At times it can seem nearly impossible for teachers to complete the required professional development hours.

That’s why teachers throughout Pennsylvania are enrolling in our courses. Not only can they help you save money, but you can finish your work at your own pace, wherever it’s convenient. You could be on your lunch break or at home relaxing — taking the course is as simple as logging onto your account.
