Out-of-State Applicants
If you hold or have held a professional
certificate in another state, and have passed
the appropriate content knowledge test required by that
state for that certification field, you are not required to take the
Georgia test(s) for licensure.
If you hold or have held a professional certificate in
another state where a content knowledge test was
not required, you may be eligible for a non-renewable certificate before
passing the required Georgia test(s), provided a certification request is made on your behalf by a Georgia school system.
Under some circumstances of successful experience in your home state, you may not be
required to take the Georgia test at all.
