Texas has requirements that must be met before you may be certified as a teacher. We will evaluate your transcript with you and help you learn the certification and assessment requirements for the area in which you wish to teach. The first requirement for the P.a.C.E. Program is you must hold a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institute of higher education. If the transcript review does not indicate the appropriate number of hours of successful course completion in the core area, P.a.C.E. applicants pursuing certification in core subject areas will need to take and pass the appropriate TXPACT exam that corresponds with the content of interest.
The Trade and Industrial Workforce Training certificate is related to Career and Technical Education. These certificates require experience and preparation in a skill area. CTE certifications may also be added by exam to a valid classroom teaching certificate with verified work experience and current licensure.
