What is the EPI?
The EPI is an alternative route that leads to full Professional Certification to become educators in the state of Florida for grades Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade. It is designed for those who hold a Bachelor's Degree outside of the field of education. This certification is used by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE.)
