The Education Professional Standards Board is responsible
for issuing and renewing certificates for all Kentucky teachers
and administrators. Staff works closely with local school districts
in the hiring process to ensure a properly credentialed educator
in every professional position in Kentucky schools. Staff also
works with Kentucky colleges and universities, out-of-state institutions,
and national evaluation agencies. EPSB processes approximately
25,000 certification transactions annually.
Kentucky certification is based upon the completion of a 4-year
teacher preparation program that includes student teaching and
testing when applicable. Kentucky requires a recommendation from
the certification official at the college/university (where the
applicant completed his/her initial teacher preparation program,
student teaching) regarding the specific teacher preparation program
completed, grade level, and at what degree level and completion
date of the program.
