I am currently in a teaching certification/ Masters program and basically it does depend on the school you are looking to become certified at. Some schools will allow you to be a non-degree seeking student and only take the education classes you need for certification. The only problem with that is you will have to appeal the school for fin aid if your state does not have a grant/conditional loan for that. The teaching certification itself will take 3 semesters. The first semester is for the fundamental education classes and gives you time to take the Praxis I. The second semester is upper-level education classes and Praxis II. The final semester is your student teaching "experience".
