Licensure Information

Pitt County Public Schools employs certified licensure specialists to work directly with current and prospective educators. The specialists assist in obtaining the first license down to your last renewal, in filing the appropriate paperwork with the State Department of Public Instruction, filing work experience (teaching and non-teaching), seeking license upgrades, and any other needs relating to licensure.

We have attempted to put as much information as possible regarding licensure in this section of our website to provide direction and assist with questions. However, if you are unable to find what you need, please make contact with our certified specialists.
