    Frequently Asked Questions — Texas

    Do I need a state certificate to substitute teach in Texas?
    Texas does not issue a statewide substitute teacher certificate. Requirements are determined by each school district individually. Most Texas districts require substitutes to hold at least a bachelor's degree and complete some form of training before their first assignment. SubCertify's courses are built to satisfy those training requirements.
    Will my Texas school district accept this certification?
    Every Texas district sets its own substitute hiring standards, and we can't speak to the specific policies of every district. What we can tell you is this: administrators consistently value substitutes who have completed formal training in classroom management and student safety — which is exactly what SubCertify provides. Your certificate includes a unique verification code so any administrator can instantly confirm your credential. Most of our students find that having a SubCertify certificate gives them a meaningful advantage when applying and when getting called for assignments.
    How long does it take to complete a course?
    The Foundations course can be completed in as little as one focused day. All courses are fully self-paced — you can work through the material on your schedule, pause and resume anytime, with lifetime access.
    What do I receive when I finish?
    Upon passing the course assessment, you receive a verifiable digital certificate with a unique code that schools can instantly confirm at subcertify.com. You can download, print, or share it digitally with any district you apply to.
