Teachers who do not have their full state teaching certification in the area of the ATC course will be asked to provide the ATC Office with proof that they meet the above requirements. More information
Certain ATC courses have additional requirements because their equivalent college courses are subject to accreditation by an external agency or prepare students for licensure or certification. Courses with additional requirements include: Banking and Financial Systems, Cisco networking courses, some Automotive Technology II courses, and the Health Science Technology III courses.
