About this exam
The Praxis Career and Technical Education (5751) is a subject assessment for people preparing to teach career and technical education in secondary or adult settings. States and licensing agencies may use it as one part of a CTE teacher certification or endorsement pathway; it is not a universal admissions test, and passing requirements depend on the jurisdiction. Candidates should confirm with their state education agency or teacher preparation program whether Praxis 5751 is required and how the score is used.
The exam covers the foundations and organization of CTE, including its historical development and philosophy, program models and delivery systems, career clusters, pathways, and programs of study. Career development and guidance are also important areas, alongside broader teaching and professional responsibilities described in the current test materials. Preparation calls for more than memorizing terms: candidates should understand how CTE programs connect learning with career options, student needs, and workplace expectations, and be ready to apply concepts to realistic education scenarios.

- Use the current ETS Praxis 5751 study companion as your checklist. Review the test specifications and note which content areas need the most attention.
