All teacher candidates are required to take the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC). The specific test you take is determined by which endorsement area(s) you are pursuing. Test preparation is an essential component to helping you prepare for the classroom. We encourage you to register and secure your testing date as soon as possible, as many testing centers have limited availability and are operating at reduced capacity. Even if you are not yet prepared to take your test, register for it now.
Finish all pre-service courses listed in the Training Progress section of your Intern Portal to keep track of your progress. You must complete all courses listed under the ‘Required Courses’ tab.
The Michigan Department of Education requires that you obtain a CPR and First Aid Certificate. Most training can be completed in one day, so we encourage you to earn your certificates early.*
*Effective April 21, 2020, candidates may be issued their Interim Teaching Certificate without completing a First Aid/CPR course, granted all other program requirements are met. This temporary allowance by the Michigan Department of Education is in place due to in-person facility closures.
To help you #GetReady, be sure to take advantage of our most sought-after FREE resources – exclusively available to enrolled Michigan Teachers’ candidates.
