Georgia Certificate Renewal Requirements
To renew a Georgia educator certificate, the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) sets the professional learning requirements completed during each five-year validity period:
- Most Georgia certificates are valid for five years, with a typical July 1 beginning date and June 30 ending date, and may be renewed from December 1 of the year before the ending date through the expiration date.
- 10 Professional Learning Units (PLUs) are generally required for educators not employed by a Georgia Local Unit of Administration. This is equivalent to 10 CEUs or 6 semester hours of accredited professional learning.
- PLUs for renewal are awarded by a Georgia state education agency, a Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA), a Georgia Local Unit of Administration with an approved program, or a GaPSC-approved college or university.
- Renewal is processed through the GaPSC MyPSC online portal, and professional learning should align with the educator's certificate fields, the school improvement plan, and the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES).
Important: iTeachAI Academy is not a formally state-approved PLU provider in Georgia, and no state agency has approved iTeachAI. Our courses are standards-aligned, district-acceptable professional development. Each course provides three IACET-aligned contact hours and a verifiable Certificate of Completion that an employing district may apply toward your professional learning at its discretion. Verify acceptance with your district or the GaPSC before relying on a course for renewal.

How Georgia Districts Approve iTeachAI for Professional Learning
In Georgia, PLUs for certificate renewal are awarded by state education agencies, RESAs, Local Units of Administration with approved programs, and GaPSC-approved colleges and universities. iTeachAI Academy is not on that list, so we frame our courses as standards-aligned, district-acceptable professional development that an employing district may apply toward your professional learning at its discretion. The district route is simple:
- A district designee reviews one or more courses through a no-cost reviewer account.
- The district documents the courses it accepts on its local professional learning records.
- Teachers complete courses, receive a Certificate of Completion, and submit it to the district professional learning office, which may apply it toward renewal at its discretion. Educators should verify acceptance with their district or the GaPSC.

For Georgia School District Leadership
If you direct curriculum, professional learning, or federal programs at a Georgia district, I would be glad to send a no-cost reviewer account so a designee can audit any course end to end before deciding to accept it.
I will also share a sample certificate, the course catalog with descriptions, and a fifteen-minute call at your convenience.
