What is a Certificate of Eligibility of Employment (CEE)?
The CEE is the initial certificate issued to individuals after January 1, 2005 who satisfied all requirements for certification in Rhode Island. This certificate, valid for three years, enables individuals to apply for positions in our local school districts that match the validity of the CEE. The CEE can be renewed every three years by payment of the certification fee in effect at the time of renewal. Once a position is secured, the appointing authority provides the holder of the CEE with verification of employment. The CEE and documentation of employment will be used to obtain a Professional Certificate.

If I hold a provisional or extended provisional certificate what happens?

If you hold only a provisional or extended provisional certificate with no work experience in Rhode Island, upon renewal you will be issued a CEE. If you hold a professional certificate in addition to a provisional or extended provisional certificate all certificate areas will become professional certificates. Those certificates not in use will be inactive professional certificates.

Can I sub with a CEE?

Yes, in addition to a substitute permit and a professional certificate an educator may substitute teach with a CEE.
