The Arapahoe Community College Teacher Training Academy was created to prepare tomorrow's teachers. Start your preparation at ACC and let us help you accomplish your dream of becoming a teacher.

Our program is designed to enable you to complete the first 60 hours needed to become an elementary or secondary education teacher. We have options available for you to easily transfer to Colorado public or private colleges to complete your Bachelor's degree and earn a Colorado Teacher's licensure.

Elementary Education Teacher Preparation Program (EETPP)
Arapahoe Community College has connected with Adams State College and Douglas County Schools so you can connect to your future in teaching. The Elementary Education Teacher Preparation Program (EETPP) allows you to take your first two years of course work at ACC and then transfer to Adams State College for the final two years. The difference is that you take your upper-division ASC classes at University Center at Chaparral in Douglas County without traveling to the ASC campus in Alamosa. Read more about this program.

Statewide Elementary Education Transfer
Arapahoe Community College also works with all Colorado four year colleges offering a Teacher Education program. You can take your first two years of course work at ACC and then transfer to your college of choice to complete your Bachelor's degree and receive a Teacher's licensure.
