092 Certification Information

Certification Process and Requirements

The process for completing the application for certification is pretty straightforward. Using your CECS account credentials log in to your account.

First and foremost, you must have served 50 months under your current teaching certificate to be eligible for the 092 certification.

You must have passed the Connecticut Administrator Test (CAT). The passing score for Connecticut is 146. Be sure to list Central as a recipient for your results.

The state requires an official copy of your transcripts to be forwarded to the State Department of Education. The Certification Officer, within the School of Education Dean’s Office, recommends that candidates obtain and mail in a hard copy of the transcripts, as the electronic version link tends to no longer work by the time the state certification office is able to get to it. You should write your EIN (Educator Identification Number) on the sealed envelope with the transcript in it. Mail official transcripts to

Bureau of Educator Standards and Certification
Connecticut State Department of Education
PO Box 150471
Hartford CT 06115-0471

Notify the Certification Officer that you are applying for your 092 Certificate at this email School of Education-ProfProg@ccsu.edu. The Certification Officer will forward the 170A form for you to complete. Complete the highlighted sections on both pages and return it to the Certification Officer as an attachment.

Have your Superintendent’s Office/HR Department complete the Verification of Employment form.
