The ED 547 and ED 548 must be completed at EOU. All coursework must be completed within 5 years of requesting recommendation for licensure. If changes occur according to TSPC or legislative decisions, candidates will be required to meet all of the new requirements in order to quality for a licensing recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
