Idaho Certificates are issued according to each specific field taught. These certificates are valid for 5 years. Provisional Certificates can be issued for applicants holding another state's valid certificate, which lasts for 2 years. Renewal takes 6 semester credit hours of coursework from an accredited college or university. Idaho Department of Education endorses out-of-state teaching certificates for the life of that certification, up to 5 years. Lifetime certificates are only valid for 5 years. | The Department of Education does not issue substitute teaching certificates. Each school district determines what criteria they use to hire a substitute teacher. The only requirement is a background check that is good for 3 years. |
