Requirements – Applying For Teacher Certification

Requirements: Certification and Endorsements

There are three types of certificates: Instructional, Educational Services, and Administrative. Under each type of certificate, there are endorsements. The endorsement identifies the specific type of service that the holder is allowed to provide.

Apply for certification on the New Jersey Educator Certification System (NJEdCert), which has replaced the Teacher Certification Information System (TCIS).

The following lists include requirements currently issued in New Jersey. This page is in the process of being updated with new administrative codes and laws. Requirements, passing test scores, and fees are subject to change without notice.
