How long does an Initial Practitioner (IP) License last?

Answer explanation

An Initial Practitioner license has a validity of two (2) years.

You must renew this license if you do not have two (2) years of fulltime teaching experience. Subbing doesn't count.

If you have two (2) or more years of fulltime teaching, you should do the Conversion, instead of Renewing the IP.
