Advisement to Users:
Dates regarding the reinstatement of an advanced level teaching certificate are not accurately reflected on the public verification web site. It is necessary that the issued certificate be examined to establish relevant dates.
Professional Education teaching certificates display an expiration date for the current validity period. The difference between the date of issuance and the current expiration date may exceed 5 years.
The certificate remains valid until the expiration date displayed has been reached.
