The exams are given in February, April, and June. You must pass all required ExCETs by the June administration in order to be recommended for certification by the end of the first year of internship. You must have attempted all required tests by June 2002. Certification is awarded upon successful completion of the Teacher Preparation and Certification Program. The certificate will be no different than certificates issued through other, more traditional, certification programs.
