Certification Process

Twiggs County Public Schools Certification Process

Twiggs County Public Schools is committed to assisting employees with the Georgia certification process. To ensure timely processing of your certification request, please submit all Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) documentation to the Twiggs County Public Schools Human Resources Department.

Step 1: Establish Your MyPSC Account

Create a MyPSC account at www.gapsc.com. This account is the primary method the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) uses to communicate regarding your certification status, requests for additional documentation, and certificate updates.

Step 2: Complete Required Forms

All certificate-related actions require the following:

• Completed GaPSC Application
• Employer Assurance Form
• Any additional documents required for your specific certification request

To expedite processing, the Twiggs County Public Schools Human Resources Department submits completed application packets electronically to GaPSC.

Step 3: Submit Official College Transcripts

Official transcripts must be submitted using one of the following methods:

• Sent electronically by your college or university through a secure transcript service (such as Parchment or eSCRIP-SAFE) to mail@gapsc.com
• Mailed directly from the institution in a sealed, official envelope to:

Georgia Professional Standards Commission
Certificate Division
200 Piedmont Avenue SE, Suite 1702
Atlanta, GA 30334-9032

Application Processing

Your certification packet is considered complete only after all required forms have been fully completed, signed, notarized (when applicable), and received by the Human Resources Department.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that all required documentation has been submitted.

Certification fees must be paid online through your MyPSC account. Once your complete application packet has been received, Human Resources will submit it to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission for evaluation.

Any requests for additional documentation, eligibility determinations, or certification updates will be communicated through your MyPSC account.

Campus Notary Services

Notary services are available at the following locations:

• Jeffersonville Elementary School (JES): Jarvis Wilcher
• Twiggs County Middle/High School (TCMHS): Mona Curry
• Central Office: Stephanie Collins

Applicant Responsibilities

Applicants are responsible for:

• Regularly monitoring their MyPSC account for updates and requests from GaPSC.
• Maintaining an active, valid Georgia educator certificate.
• Beginning the certificate renewal process at least 90 days prior to the certificate expiration date.
• Promptly notifying the Human Resources Department of any changes to certification status.

If a certification change qualifies you for a salary adjustment, you must submit the appropriate PSC Update Application and provide a valid Georgia certificate reflecting the approved change before any salary adjustment can be processed.
