3-Step Streamlined Certification Process

Step 1. Teacher Certification Testing

You will need to pass two types of certification tests:

Content Test – this is a subject specific test that allows you to demonstrate your subject matter knowledge. This test is taken first.
Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) Test – this test allows you to demonstrate your knowledge about the theory and practice of education. This test is taken once all coursework is completed.

TRAINING via Instructional Coursework

Our streamlined process is the most effective and efficient route for you to complete your training. Once you complete three of the six courses, you are eligible for hire.
