About add-on licensure
You are eligible to pursue an add-on license if you already have a current North Carolina Professional Educator’s License.
Birth – Kindergarten (BK) add-on license
You can pursue a North Carolina Birth-through-Kindergarten add-on license if you are already licensed (either A or M level) in a related teaching area like:
- Early Childhood,
- Elementary Education, or
- Special Education.
If you do not hold a teaching license in a related field, you must first earn and clear that initial license in order to add on the B-K license.
