Certification application
Step-by-step instructions and important information about the application process
Accessing the Connecticut Educator Certification System (CECS)
Log into the Connecticut Educator Certification System (CECS)
ATTENTION: To access or create your CECS account, you must first set up a CT.GOV account. By selecting the CECS Login link noted above and then selecting the “Login” button, you will be redirected to the CT.GOV portal. Please note that the CT.GOV account is distinct from your CECS account and requires multifactor authentication (MFA) for added security. If you have previously used other Connecticut government portals, such as the DMV for renewing your driver's license, you likely already have a CT.GOV account.
