I'm going to be emailing DODEA soon about a cert that's been pending exactly a year now and I'm wanting to also look into reevaluating a couple of other certs. I know I'm qualified for the pending one—they just forgot to change it when I emailed last year but they fixed the other pending certs.

Since then, I've earned a Masters in my content area and I wondered if it would exempt me from some of the classes they say I need when I was denied other certs. Those were Drama and Journalism. I'm not state certified in them and they said I needed one-two classes extra to be qualified.

Because I now have a Masters in English, does this help? Should I get state certified first and then re-trigger it? Or just trigger it and see what happens? I have to email them anyway bc each time I've triggered a cert for the past year and they've approved it, they've never went back and approved the pending one :/

haha I thought there was a way to add AP but it's not in the target jobs any longer (if it ever was) but it's not something I have any personal experience with. Maybe someone who has done it will post.

I think getting a secondary position is no harder than any other position with DoDEA and might be easier than many others, depending on the cert...See More

MyDOD Thank you for the responses! I also thought I remembered seeing AP classes for quals when I first started applying but maybe I was wrong. I did have someone deny me SS once bc I wasn't AP gov't certified, but I had that changed pretty quick due to it's irrelevancy. I will get the MS English taken care of soon. If anything, I can always start out ES...See More
