The paper/pencil versions of the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) and the Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE) are offered at Northwest Florida State College.

Florida law requires that teachers demonstrate mastery of basic skills, professional knowledge and specialization. FTCE has three required sections: General Knowledge, Subject Area and Professional Education. The General Knowledge test takes the entire testing day. Subject Area and Professional Education tests may both be taken in the same day.

FELE is for individuals interested in seeking certification in Educational Leadership. The entire FELE test may be taken in one day.

Consult your academic advisor or a certification specialist from the school district in the county where you want to teach, or access the website for the Florida Department of Education’s Bureau of Educator Certification at www.fldoe.org/edcert for testing requirements. Students who are enrolled in the OWC Educator Preparation Institute should direct questions concerning the certification exams to Ms. Penny Cox, Coordinator of the EPI program.

OWC also offers several review classes for the Florida Teacher Certification Exams. These classes are non-credit and are open to anyone who is interested in preparing for the General Knowledge Exam or the elementary education K-6 exam.
