Answer:

The State of Florida does not have a state-wide system to certify substitute teachers but allows each school district to determine its own hiring policies and procedures. Policies will vary from district to district, so prospective substitute teachers should carefully review the requirements and procedures for the district they wish to work.

Seminole County Public Schools requirements:

  • Aged 18 or older
  • Has a Seminole County Substitute Certificate or a Florida Educator's Certificate
  • At least a high school diploma (with pay increases for advanced degrees)

Marion County Public Schools requirements:

  • A High School Diploma plus five years of verifiable work experience or an associate's degree or 60 college semester hours
  • Certified full-time teacher or Certificate of Completion of the Introduction Teacher Training (for Substitute Teachers) training seminar
  • Complete background check

Each district had different levels of substitute teaching certifications, so applicants should review each county district application process for further requirements. Applicants for substitute teaching certificates will apply directly to the school district for a certificate.
