What is the difference between the statement of official status of eligibility and an Educator’s Certificate?
The official statement of status of eligibility states whether or not an applicant is ELIGIBLE for a Temporary or Professional Certificate for the subject (s) requested and provides a customized list of requirements the applicant must meet to be issued full state certification. An Educator’s Certificate is issued after employment has been gained and the fingerprints have been processed and cleared by the Florida Department of Education’s Bureau of Educator Certification.
