Teacher Certification
NCE teacher certification programs may meet certification requirements for states other than Illinois. Since specific requirements vary, students should obtain information from the state in which they plan to teach.
Students seeking certification by entitlement may obtain applications for certification at www.isbe.net/certification.
Illinois law prohibits the certification and/or employment of persons convicted of specific crimes. Students seeking an endorsement for professional certification through NCE who have been convicted of one of the offenses identified by Illinois law may be ineligible for certification or employment as a school professional.
