Praxis I Test Preparation Courses

Trinity offers two courses through the Professional Development for Educators to help teachers prepare for the Praxis I exam.  Students take online practice tests to become more comfortable with the computer-based exams and their content.  Praxis I preparation courses are offered in Mathematics and Reading/Writing.  No credits are awarded for these classes. A Bachelor's degree is not required for enrollment in the Praxis I prep courses.

Our Praxis I Preparation courses do not qualify for the online tuition discounts.  Students may register for these courses online but the tuition is the same as if you were to register on paper. Please visit our Tuition and Fees page for more information.
