District Certification Assistance

Certification district contact phone: 803-734-9929


The district contacts are evaluators designated to communicate directly to school districts only, on behalf of their teachers. Individual teacher requests are routed through our regular certification mailbox and distributed to other staff members for processing.

If you have a change in status or seek application for certification, please communicate to our office via an Application (1 page pdf), Request for Change/Action form (1 page pdf) or through your school district's personnel office.
