Assessment exemptions for out-of-state administrators
Administrators from another state may be exempt from taking an assessment test to become administrators in Connecticut’s public school system. To be exempt, you must:
- Already hold a valid certificate equivalent to at least a Connecticut initial administrator certificate
AND
- Document 30 months of successful school administration experience in the past 10 years in a public or approved nonpublic school system
You may need to pass the Connecticut Administrator Test, which is available through ETS. If you need to take the test, we encourage you to prepare for the exam with ETS’ test preparation materials and practice test.
