The Teacher Profile Process is a two-step process:

Step I:   The candidate completes a Certification Application and submits the application and fees to MTNA Certification, 441 Vine St., Ste. 3100, Cincinnati, OH 45202.

Step II:  The candidate completes the five Teacher Profile Projects.

• Candidates will have one year from the time the application and fees are received to complete the Teacher Profile Projects.
• Two hard copies of the completed Projects and two copies of the video recordings will be sent to MTNA headquarters.
• Applicants will receive written notification from MTNA when the certification process is successfully completed. A certificate and the guidelines for the renewal of MTNA Professional Certification will accompany the written notification.
• If some part of the Teacher Profile is evaluated as insufficient, certification will be deferred until that Project is evaluated as sufficient.
  

Application Time Limit Policy
The MTNA Professional Certification process must be completed within one-year from the date the application and fees are received at MTNA Headquarters. If the process is not completed within one year, the applicant may request, in writing, a single one-year time extension, after which an application extension fee will be assessed. (See Fee Schedule.)
