The Florida Department of Education Certification website guides professionals in the acquisition of Florida teaching certifications. 

The Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FTCE) website provides information on where, when, and the cost of taking certification exams.

If you need support studying for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing certification exam, RMTC-DHH has developed a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) response for study recommendations. 

Special Note: The Florida certification for teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing recently changed. Effective as of June 16, 2020, the term “Hearing Impaired” was changed to “Deaf and Hard of Hearing” as seen in Rule 6A-4.0172, F.A.C.
