Bureau of Education & Research cuts its course price by up to 18% for teachers registering as a group. The discount is real and scales with how many teachers sign up together, not a code any single teacher enters alone.
Bureau of Education & Research (BER) sells online professional-development courses for K-12 teachers across subjects including literacy, math, science, and special education, with options to earn state CEUs, clock hours, or graduate-level PD credit through a university partner.
How To Get The Bureau of Education & Research Teacher Discount
BER’s discount is structured as group pricing rather than a code. On its $169 course tier, a group of 5 to 9 teachers pays $149 each, and a group of 10 to 15 pays $139 each. On its $295 tier, the same group sizes bring the price to $275 and $265 respectively. Larger groups can request custom pricing directly.
The Discount Requires Coordinating With Colleagues
An individual teacher registering alone pays BER’s list price; there’s no discount for a single enrollment. The savings only appear once a group forms, which makes this a genuinely different mechanism than a promo code a teacher can use unilaterally. If your school or department has several teachers who need the same course, coordinating a group registration is the only way to access the lower per-teacher rate.
The percentage saved scales with group size rather than being a flat rate: a group of 5 saves about 12% per teacher on the $169 tier, while a group of 10 or more saves about 18%. A larger coordinated group gets a meaningfully better rate than a small one, so it’s worth checking whether your district-wide PD coordinator can pull together a bigger group than just your own team.
BER’s courses run self-paced online, with up to 90 days to complete a course once started, which gives a group enough flexibility to coordinate a shared enrollment without everyone needing to finish on the same schedule.
Q&A
Q: How much can I save with BER’s group discount?
A: Up to 18% off, depending on group size and which course tier you’re enrolling in.
Q: Does an individual teacher get any discount?
A: No. The discount only applies once a group of 5 or more registers together.
Q: What group size gets the best rate?
A: 10 to 15 teachers gets the deepest discount on both course tiers; larger groups can request custom pricing.
Q: How long do I have to complete a course?
A: Up to 90 days from the start date.
Q: Can I earn graduate credit through BER, not just CEUs?
A: Yes, graduate-level PD credit is available through a university partner in addition to state CEUs and clock hours.
BER also sells streaming-package options at discounted pricing separate from the group-size tiers described above, worth comparing if your group doesn’t hit the 5-teacher minimum needed to unlock the standard group rate, since a streaming package might still bring the per-teacher cost down even for a smaller group.
