Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) Learning Portal
Welcome to the Florida Department of Education Web site. This site provides information on Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE), including exam overviews, exam length, competencies and skills required for each exam, and test information guides.
Information on types of educator preparation programs and links to resources that may help you prepare for FTCE tests are also available.
Testing Requirements
Testing requirements for certification are described in Section 1012.56, Florida Statutes, and in 6A-4.0021, Florida Administrative Code. The Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) include the FTCE Subject Area Examinations, FTCE Professional Education Test, and FTCE General Knowledge Test.
The Bureau of Educator Certification at the Department of Education in Tallahassee determines individual testing requirements for certification. If you have a certification application on file, the Bureau will inform you of your individual testing requirements. The Bureau advises that teacher candidates should submit an application for certification before applying to take certification examinations. To apply for certification online, visit the Educator Certification Web site.
After your application for certification is on file, the Bureau will issue you an Official Statement of Status of Eligibility. This statement will indicate your individualized testing requirements. Once your certification application is on file, you may check your application status by contacting the Bureau toll free at (800) 445-6739 or by visiting the Educator Certification Web site.

2. New Test Fees for 2009
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
In 2009, if you take one of the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) or the Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE) for the first time, you will pay the first-attempt fee. If you took and did not pass a test and want to retake it, you must pay the retake fee. For tests with subtests, taking any subtest is considered the first attempt even if you did not take all of the available subtests, and you must pay the retake fee for any subtests taken at a later date.
Test registration fees are applicable for both computer-based and paper-based tests. The FTCE Subject Area Examination, FTCE Professional Education Test, and FTCE General Knowledge Test (any combination of subtests) are $50 for the first attempt and $100 for the retake. The FELE (any combination of subtests) is $85 for the first attempt and $100 for the retake.
If you have any questions about fees or calculating the total amount you need to pay to register, please call the FTCE/FELE Program office at (413) 256-2893 and press option 9 to speak to a representative.
