Earning a bachelor’s degree while being enrolled in a traditional approved educator preparation program and meeting the testing requirements outlined by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) lead to eligibility for an A-level Initial Professional License. To convert an Initial Professional License or a Residency License to a Continuing Professional License, an educator must have completed at least three years of teaching experience (either in North Carolina or verified experience from another state), complete a beginning teacher support program (if required) and pass all licensure exams required for the license(s) before or during the third year of licensure. Conversion from an Initial Professional License or a Residency License to a Professional License does not require the recommendation of the employing school system.
