Yes, the state of Maine offers alternative certification pathway which does not require completing a state approved program such as ETEP. However, such a route does not provide the high level of professional preparation that ETEP offers, nor an equal level of competitiveness for obtaining a teaching position. If you are not able to join ETEP and would like to be advised about the alternative pathway, please contact the Maine Department of Education (207-624-6603).
