Florida Teacher Certificate Examinations (FTCE)

Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) are standardized tests used to assess the competencies of prospective teachers according to Florida’s Sunshine State Standards. FTCE is a battery of three tests with each test varying anywhere from 40 – 225 questions. You will take all three on the same day (usually a Saturday).
