Greetings!! 

Thank you for your interest in the GaTAPP Express program. This is a rigorous 11 month certification that begins in June 2025 and ends in April 2026. 

Please note the following:

• This program is for teachers who hold a bachelor's degree (or related degree) in the field of certification. 
• If you are seeking certification in Elementary Education, Special Education, or a CTAE field, please find the  Comprehensive GaTAPP Program application, as you do not qualify for the Express program. 
• If you are employed in a Cognia-accredited private school, you must have both an administrator and a peer teacher who holds a Georgia certification to support you throughout the program.

If you have questions about the application process, please visit our website at http://www.mresa.org  and choose the GaTAPP tab, e-mail us at gatapp@mresa.org, or call us at (770)431-2222. Our office is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm. 

Sincerely, 

The GaTAPP Team at Metro RESA
