A “certificate” is the license required for an individual to teach in an Illinois public school. An “endorsement” is a descriptor that is placed on a certificate to identify and limit the specific areas in which the individual is qualified to teach in conjunction with that certificate. For example, a candidate who completes a secondary certification program in physics will receive a Secondary Certificate (Type 09) endorsed in physics. If that person later meets the requirements for an endorsement in mathematics, a math endorsement would be added to the Secondary Certificate.
