New Learning Portal for Certification

A new Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) Learning Portal, is located at https://app1.fldoe.org/ftce/Portal/ and also available on the FTCE Web page at http://www.fldoe.org/asp/ftce/.

Over the years, there have been a number of requests from teachers and legislative staff for guidance about how to prepare for the teacher certification examinations. The Postsecondary assessment team now provides a Test Information Guide to familiarize prospective test takers with various aspects of the examination, but examinees typically want more information.

The most appropriate information for teacher preparation is located in the school districts, universities, colleges, and educator preparation institute (EPI) programs statewide. The FTCE Learning Portal consolidates these resources for teacher preparation into one Web location to convey the variety of preparation options available.
