Who may not pass the certification?
Part 22 of Order No. 276 exempts a number of persons from the procedure:
- have worked in one place for less than two years;
- having a qualification category;
- pregnant women and women on maternity leave;
- absent due to illness for more than four months.
All others do not have the right to refuse certification. This will be a violation of labor discipline and will entail consequences in the form of disciplinary action under Article 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The legislative framework
Article 49 of Federal Law No. 273-FZ of December 29, 2012 states that assessing the professional qualities of a teacher is a mandatory event. The certification commission awaits each employee once every five years to determine suitability for the position held. In comparison, receiving a category is a teacher’s right, not an obligation. In this case, he undergoes the appropriate assessment voluntarily.
The certification procedure for suitability for a position is regulated by Orders of the Ministry of Education:
- for teachers - Order No. 276 of 04/07/2014;
- for university teachers - Order No. 293 of March 30, 2015.
In a preschool institution, certification for suitability for the position of a teacher is carried out according to the same principle as for a school teacher.
