Steps to Apply

Step 1: Complete a BC application at www.broward.edu to become a Broward College student. When completing the BC application, be sure to select Non-Degree Seeking as a major. If you have previously taken courses at Broward College, but it has been more than 2 full semesters, you will need to submit a re-entry application.

Step 2: Submit a Courses for Certification Request Form to the Teacher Education Program.

Step 3: Submit a copy of your Statement of Eligibility, Temporary Educator's Certificate, or Professional Educator's Certificate to the Teacher Education Program office. If you do not have one of these documents, please read below for instructions on how to apply: Any individual who wants to teach in the state of Florida must first apply to the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) for their Statement of Eligibility (SOE). The individual applies for the SOE online at http://www.fldoe.org/edcert/steps.asp. On the application the individual must identify which subject area(s) they would like to teach. In addition to completing the application, the individual must send official transcript(s) to the FLDOE for review.
