Testing and assessment treatment
Requirement
Unmet content-knowledge or literacy requirements can produce a one-year Non-Renewable Professional or one-year Induction certificate that must be cleared before extension.
Which out-of-state path this covers
Georgia uses interstate reciprocity to evaluate a comparable out-of-state professional certificate, preparation, degree, experience and special Georgia requirements.
What can change this answer
Three years of successful full-time out-of-state experience is a key boundary between the Professional and Induction routes, while field comparability and unmet Georgia-specific requirements can change the issued certificate.
Documents you may need
Published guidance lists the MyPSC application, lawful-presence evidence, official transcripts, an out-of-state certificate or program verification, assessment scores and experience verification as applicable.
Where the testing answer can change
- •Three or more qualifying years can support a Professional certificate; less than three can lead to an Induction certificate
- •Missing content-knowledge or literacy requirements may result in a one-year certificate with deficiencies
- •Georgia issues only comparable fields and reciprocity applicants do not qualify for Provisional certification in the reciprocity field
