All educators in Seventh-day Adventist schools are expected to hold the appropriate Seventh-day Adventist certification. These certificates are issued to individuals based on personal, academic, and professional qualifications deemed necessary for providing an excellent education to children and youth in Seventh-day Adventist schools. Holding a certificate does not imply an offer of employment. 

Qualifying for the appropriate certificate and maintaining it through continued professional preparation and growth is the responsibility of each educator. 

This manual provides you with the procedures for acquiring and maintaining Seventh-day Adventist teaching and administrative certification.
