Add-On Endorsement Program

Add-On Endorsements

Appropriately named, “add-on endorsements” are endorsements that are added to your already valid Washington State teacher certificate.

In Washington state, there are four possible ways to add an endorsement to your currently valid Initial, Residency, Continuing, or Professional Teacher Certificate.

    1. By completing an add-on endorsement program at a college or university **and** completing required content exam.
