FIND A CERTIFICATION AREA THAT INTERESTS YOU! 

The United States Department of Education (ED) has approved the 2022-2023 teacher shortage areas submitted by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). 

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 eligibility criteria for the area in which you wish to teach. 

The Trade and Industrial Workforce Training certificate is related to Career and Technical Education. These certificates require two to five years of full-time wage-earning experience within the past ten years. An applicant seeking certification in Health Science or Trade and Industrial Education shall submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for approval to offer formal admission and program training. 

In addition, CTE certifications may be added by exam to a valid classroom teaching certificate with verified work experience and current licensure.
