Apply for Certification

There are two ways to apply for FACCS Professional Educator Certification: 

  1. Online - To apply online, login to the FACCS Portal, and select Certification.  If you do not have a FACCS username and password, select Register on the login page.  Feel free to contact the Office of Program Services if you have any questions. 
  2. Paper - Download, complete, and mail the application to the Office of Program Services.

Materials and information you will need: 

  • Certificate type, level/sub-level, and any endorsements for which you wish to apply
  • Official transcripts from ALL colleges/universities attended (these may be copied ONLY by your school and verified by your administrator upon submission to FACCS)
  • If applying for a renewal, a transcript of your earned ISPs from the Master Inservice Program
  • Copy of CDA/CDAE/FCCPC if applying for an Early Educator certificate
  • Proof of completion of a Philosophy of Christian Education course
  • Form of payment (see application for fees)

Note: Technically one must be an employee of a FACCS school to apply. However if you hold a FACCS certificate and are no longer employed at a FACCS school, you may still apply for renewal - please contact our office for more information. Applicants who are applying for employment at a FACCS school may, if they wish, acquire a FACCS certificate prior to employment.
