Advanced Professional Certificate. The Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) requires that all educators in Maryland public schools obtain an Advanced Professional Certificate (APC), the highest level professional certificate in Maryland. The APC must be achieved no later than the expiration of the Standard Professional Certificate II, usually at the end of the tenth year of teaching in Maryland. The requirements for an APC are stipulated in COMAR 13A.12.01.06E. At the issuance of the Standard Professional Certificate II, the Human Resources Office will provide an official APC evaluation to the educator. It is the educator’s responsibility to make a written request to the Human Resources Office when all requirements for the APC are complete.
