The PLTW Training Guarantee protects a district’s investment in PLTW programs by guaranteeing that if a teacher departs the school district within four years of earning a PLTW credential, PLTW will provide a Training Guarantee for a training option in the amount of the training fee for the district to train a teacher in the same course, replace the credential(s), and support continued student learning if all criteria is met.

4 Years

The PLTW Training Guarantee is valid for four years from the date the departing teacher earned the credential. This means that the new teacher filling the open position must receive training within four years from the date the departing teacher earned the credential.

No Outstanding Invoices

The district must be in good financial standing with PLTW (e.g., no invoices 60 days or more past due).

Credentialed Teacher

The new teacher filling the position must complete training for the same course in which the departing teacher earned a credential. All credentials earned by the departing teacher are eligible for the PLTW Training Guarantee if they fall within the four-year timeframe. A separate application must be completed for each eligible credential.

Eligibility Details

Only credentials earned through PLTW Core Training are eligible for the Training Guarantee. Credentials earned through PLTW District Transformation Training, PLTW Pre-Service Training, PLTW Launch Classroom Teacher Training provided by a Lead Teacher in a district, PLTW Summit CEUs, PLTW Professional Development Suite, or Professional Development Plan (PDP) delivery models are not eligible for the Training Guarantee.
