All tests indicated in RED and coursework (if required) must be successfully completed PRIOR TO being admitted to the NTLP.

IMPORTANT: AS OF 9/1/2007 the Early Childhood test requirement changed to the Praxis II: 022: Early Childhood: Content Knowledge exam. If the Praxis II: 021: Education of Young Children test was taken and passed (164 or higher) BEFORE 9/1/2007, then that test score will be acceptable to enter the NTL program for the 08-09 year.

In addition to taking and passing the required Praxis I: Basic Skills and Praxis II: 022 exam those licensing in the area of Early Childhood must also complete REQUIRED ADDITIONAL COURSEWORK.
