To teach within the public school system in the United States at the pre-K through high school levels, you must have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program from a regionally accredited college or university and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university. Individuals who already have at least a bachelor's degree but not in an education program, can obtain certification to teach specific courses through the Alternative Route Program within the state they wish to teach.

Answer 5

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by which test. To teach within the public school system in the United States, you must have a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years as a full-time student to complete, provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. There are alternative routes for individuals who have a bachelor's degree not in an education program and do not have teacher certification but would like to teach. These individuals go through a teacher program, and obtain certification to teach a specific course or courses. However, you would have to contact the State Board of Education within the state you plan to teach for appropriate direction.
