The study provides in one source the various State certification requirements for vocational stenographic-secretarial teachers in post-secondary vocational-technical schools in the United States, obtained from State Directors of Vocational Education through a questionnaire; the related literature is reviewed. A 12-page table summarizes certification requirements in individual States. Fifteen tables accompany an analysis and comparison of these certification criteria as they exist in all the States. The research found more differences than similarities among the States' certification requirements. These differences and similarities are detailed, and it is concluded that, while most of the States provide post-secondary vocational stenographic-secretarial education and while the majority have Statewide requirements teachers must meet, there is little agreement among the States as to which criteria are most appropriate. It is recommended that a reciprocity plan for vocational business teacher certification should be developed, and that similar studies should be conducted to determine State certification requirements for all vocational business teachers at all educational levels. The questionnaire and a directory of State Directors are among the appendixes. (AJ)
