Teacher Certification Process

The Certification Unit at the Arizona Department of Education provides services to educators to assist them in obtaining and maintaining their Arizona Educator Certification. Educators are certified in myriad areas, including Early Childhood, Elementary, Secondary, CTE, STEM, Arts, Physical Education, Administration, Special Education, Adult Education, and others, and adding approved content areas and endorsements. The unit also assists out-of-state educators in obtaining Arizona Certification and supports Human Resource departments through staff training and facilitating on-site certification events to meet the needs of their educators.

The Arizona Department of Education Certification Unit has implemented a new certification application system that will greatly enhance efficiency and user experience for educators.

All educators need an ADE Connect account to log into the new Educator Certification system. If you do not have an ADE account, you will need to create one. If you have previously logged into the online application system, you have an ADE account, and your username and password will not change.

To register or log in please use the link below:

Sincerely,
The ADE Certification Team
