Schedule an Interview, GaPSC Pre-Service Application, & VLP

Schedule an Interview

When you have turned in all admissions materials to the Division of Education, and it has been verified to be complete, an interview will be scheduled. The interview consists of both an oral and a written component, and focuses on questions related to working with children in school settings. Professional dress is required. Distance students may attend the interview via Zoom.

GaPSC Pre-Service Application & VLP (paperwork provided once your interview is scheduled)

The GAPSC pre-service certification application and verification of lawful presence documents are time sensitive. Sign them, but do not enter dates on either of them. Bring both of them with you to your interview or if a virtual interview is conducted, submit them electronically to the Division of Education upon request. Do not submit them prior to your interview.

The VLP Affidavit must be completed in front of a notary and notarized – do that no sooner than one week prior to your interview. A notary can usually be found at your local courthouse. The VLP will require you to submit a picture ID. This picture ID needs to be in color and of quality grade.

An individual holding a current Georgia Professional Standards Commission Provisional Teacher Certification will be exempted from this requirement.
