Endorsements
Subject and service areas you can add to your certificate to reflect your expertise.
An endorsement recognizes concentrated study in a specific area. Each is earned with 18 subject-area credit hours — or, where available, by passing the appropriate Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FTCE) subject-area exam.
Endorsements may be added to Middle School, Secondary, All-Level, and Administrator certificates, at any time before the certificate expires.
