I am sharing the following information that one person was able to successfully get credit. You can open the course syllabus by clicking on this link. The person shared that they went through https://www.teachingchannel.com/ and said they have a course called Learning by Choice that will work for college credit.

You can also start with my 10-Minute Transition Toolkit for educators looking to get into EF coaching (only $11).

Please review the lesson modules, look at the testimonials, and make that decision.

While the course is a great fit for working with middle and high school students, it does not focus on strategies for clients younger than 6th grade. The main reason for this is that younger students often face challenges engaging in online sessions, which can make it difficult to scale your practice beyond in-person work.

The entire program is delivered online and can be taken self-paced by watching the class recordings.
