The Tier I certification is considered entry-level that prepares candidates for P-12 school-level positions below the principal and for district-level positions that do not supervise principals.

To be considered for admission to the Tier I Certification Program, the following are required: a 3.0 graduate GPA, a master’s degree (or higher degree) from an accredited institution, copies of official transcripts from each university attended, T5 or S5 professional teaching certificate, Georgia Ethics for Educational Leadership Assessment (Test 380), and a completed application for admission.

Total Program: 18 Hours


PROGRAM NOTE: Candidates completing the program are required to take and pass the GACE content assessment in Educational Leadership and the Georgia Ethics for Educational Leadership - Program Exit Assessment to achieve state certification.
