应用ing for an Educator License

  • 应用 for your license on LVIS 只有 after successfully completing your educational program, passing all of your licensure tests, completing your CPR/Heimlich/AED training, and your suicide prevention training.
  • Send an email to the SMWC licensing advisor and your advisor once you have completed your license application on LVIS. This will allow your advisor to verify you have met all program requirements and our licensing advisor to proceed with the licensure process.
