Teacher Certification
Teacher certification is governed by the Alabama Department of Education. The Teacher Education and Certification Section is responsible for ensuring that colleges and universities meet the continuously updated teacher education program approval standards adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE).
Persons who meet SBE test requirements, complete approved programs, and meet background clearance requirements are eligible for certification. Certificates are also awarded to persons who meet alternative route criteria adopted by the SBE.
