FAQ

I am a Michigan certified teacher. What courses do I need to take to earn a GQ endorsement?

In general, you would be required to take the following classes. Please note that you can test out of BMMT courses. In addition, you can prepare a Prior Learning Assessment portfolio also for BMMT classes and up to nine credits.

You are not required to complete a teachable minor; however, applying for a Standard CTE Certificate is recommended.

The general program is listed below.

Business, Management, Marketing and Technology Endorsement

Standard CTE Certificate

If you have subject-related academic courses and work-related experience (4,000 hours from the past ten years), a student can earn a Standard CTE Certificate. Students who seek a GQ endorsement are required to enroll in BMMT251 and BMMT352. These two classes are a state requirement when seeking a Standard CTE Certificate. All hours must be verified by the BMMT Program Coordinator (or coordinator’s selected assignee) using designated documents (i.e., personal records, tax documents, Social Security records, etc.).
