Must complete six semester hours of new college coursework in the out-of field assignment or take and pass the appropriate subject area exam prior to the end of April in the school year in which you were placed out-of-field. You must continue to complete out-of-field training each additional school year (if you do not pass the subject area exam or for areas where the option of adding by passing a subject area exam is not applicable).

Test registration and test preparation information can be found on the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) web site.

Once all training is complete, you must apply to have the subject area added to your certificate.

• Teachers with a three-year temporary certificate must apply online to the Florida Department of Education.
