Adding an Endorsement To a Professional

To add an endorsement to a valid Florida Professional Certificate, you must:

1. Submit a complete online application (a complete application includes the appropriate processing fee), and
2. Meet specialization in the subject you wish to add.

Subject Specialization for an endorsement is met in one of two ways:

• Complete the course requirements listed in State Board Rule for the endorsement, or
• Complete a Florida school district's approved inservice add-on program for the endorsement (contact your district staff development office for more information).

Note: Certification requirements are subject to change! It is essential that you apply for the additional subject before you begin completing requirements. To ensure that you are completing the required steps to add the subject to your certificate, the Bureau of Educator Certification will provide you with a Statement of Status of Eligibility that officially outlines the requirements you need to complete for that subject. The Bureau cannot guarantee your path to eligibility for the subject until your application form has been received and completed.
