After successful interviews have been completed, selected candidates must begin participation in the NCVPS Teacher in Training (TnT) Program. The TnT is an unpaid program that prepares participants for success as an NCVPS teacher.

Each TnT Program typically spans between 11–15 weeks, depending upon curriculum need, which impacts cohort start dates. The first portion of the program consists of Coursework via the Canvas platform, followed by a live Practicum course (with students) alongside a current NCVPS teacher. Participants can expect to spend approximately 5–7 hours per week in both the Coursework and Practicum, with weekly assignment deadlines. CEUs are issued upon successful completion of each portion of the TnT Program.

Participants must successfully complete the TnT Program in order to become eligible to receive a course section.
