Subject area competency is assessed with the Praxis II: Subject Tests and Principles of Learning and Teaching tests.

The initial teaching certificate for South Carolina is valid for three years and is renewable. During that time, teachers must pass the appropriate Praxis PLT exams and be a participant in the formal teacher evaluation system of the state to advanced to the professional certificate that is renewable every five years.

In areas of critical teacher shortage, South Carolina provides a path for eligible candidates not having met the certification requirements to teach in an area of criteria shortage. These candidates have a minimum of two years of experience in post-secondary work and are employed by a South Carolina public school for the area of the shortage. They are issued a Critical Needs Teaching Certificate that is valid for a year and renewable twice.
