PEd - Professional Education Test

The Professional Education Test (PEd) is one of three tests that compose the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE).

Candidates applying for a Professional Certificate may need to take the Professional Education Test. See your Official Statement of Status of Eligibility.
