As a career switcher, I turned to Mr. Joseph to evaluate my transcripts about 2 years ago. With his help, I was able to establish a game plan of the courses that I needed to take and which ones (Endorsement versus Professional Education classes) that I needed to take first. As I have learned, however, this is a process and, along the way, I have had questions about alternative route to licensure programs, specific classes, and the colleges/universities in my area that offer the classes that I need. As new questions have come up, I have turned to Mr. Joseph for answers. Mr. Joseph has ALWAYS answered my questions. He has provided accurate information in a professional and timely manner. I really consider him to be part of my career-switcher team, and he has never let me down. He has helped me cut through the bureaucracy and has provided me with the concrete classes/exams that I needed to complete in order to teach. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is seriously thinking about teaching as he needs to be part of your team, too.

When I became interested in becoming a teacher, I was lost regarding the steps that I was supposed to take. Becoming a teacher has a lot more to it than any other job I know. All of the paper work, phone calls and certifications had me in over my head. I had heard about the services of Mr. Joseph and all of my questions were answered immediately. I knew what I had to do to be a teacher and any questions I had, were immediately answered in their entirety. There should be more people out there to help prospective teachers find their way. I am very thankful for his services.

I am so thankful I contacted Mr. Paul Joseph for assistance toward becoming an elementary school teacher. He has truly provided me with quality service and care. Mr. Joseph was very prompt in answering my many questions, evaluating my college transcript, providing me with helpful feedback, as well as returning all of my phone calls promptly. He has been extremely accommodating and kind in his service. I highly recommend his assistance!

When I began the process of trying to obtain my teaching license, I thought I would be able to review my transcripts on my own. Once I took an initial look at the transcripts vs the Dept of Education requirements, I knew that I would need help. Anxious to get the ball rolling as soon as possible, I mailed my transcripts to Joseph Education Consulting Services. I didn't even think he had received my transcripts yet and he had already responded. I am extremely grateful for the quick response as I wanted to get signed up for classes. Not only did he provide a transcript review but he also goes above and beyond to make himself available for follow up questions regarding specific issues you may have, including what classes might fill what requirements. The whole process seems much less daunting thanks to Mr. Joseph's knowledge and expertise.

After reading the client testimonials, I still wondered just how helpful Joseph Education Services really was. What was the hitch? Mr. Joseph promptly answered my questions and asked a few, targeted ones of his own. As a result, he has saved me hundreds of hours of classroom time and many dollars. At my age and on a single parent's income, I could not be more grateful. I"ll send all my friends seeking certification to his website. Knowledgeable, generous with his time, and efficient: he is the ultimate professional.

After spending several months trying to piece together information I had gathered regarding alternative teaching licensure requirements, one phone call to Joseph Educational Consulting Services provided the clarity I needed to finally take steps in the right direction. Paul Joseph was extremely timely, professional and immediately put me at ease. He provided an evaluation of my transcript and then on top of that answered a variety of questions regarding the types of classes that I could take to fulfill specific requirements that I had remaining. I would recommend him to anyone looking for answers about teaching certification requirements!

I truly appreciate the sincere help that Mr. Joseph offered me, given without any charge, to apply to receive the statement of eligibility as a music-instrumental teacher.

I encourage anyone who is considering a career in teaching to contact Joseph Education Consulting Services. After fifteen years of working in other fields, I wanted to teach at the middle school level and found myself confused by the lengthy requirements listed for licensure.
Mr. Joseph carefully reviewed each of my transcripts and clearly spelled out several routes to obtaining my teaching license. Many of the options he proposed saved me a lot of time. The reasonable fee requested for these evaluations were easily offset by the tuition money I have saved by not taking unnecessary courses. In short, through Mr. Joseph's services, I found that I was much closer to being qualified to teach than I had originally thought.
Mr. Joseph's services were extremely comprehensive, professional, courteous, and timely. All of my phone calls and emails were returned quickly and he never left a question unanswered.
I am grateful for the services offered by Joseph Educational Consulting Services and urge anyone considering a career in teaching to seek his advice.

I am at loss of words to express my deep, heartfelt gratitude for Mr. Joseph, whose endless uplifting, unyielding dedication, and strong determination fostered my faith in him and helped me break the gridlock created by the Indian bureaucracy and the refusal by the county to assist with the licensure and the endorsement process. I sincerely acknowledge that I could not have done it without his support! I do wish that there are more caring people like him in this world and will feel honored to recommend his services to anyone. I could not thank him enough!!!
