THERE ARE TWO STEPS TO OBTAIN A DSC CTE CLEAR CREDENTIAL:

 

• INDIVIDUALS FIRST QUALIFY FOR THE INITIAL CREDENTIAL CALLED A "PRELIMINARY" BASED ON BOTH WORK EXPERIENCE AND/OR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

 

• UPON OBTAINING THE PRELIMINARY CREDENTIAL, INDIVIDUALS MUST MEET ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO ATTAIN THE CLEAR CREDENTIAL, INCLUDING THE CLEAR CREDENTIAL PROGRAM WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE ENGLISH LEARNER AUTHORIZATION. RENEWAL OF THE CLEAR CREDENTIAL CAN BE COMPLETED ONLINE THROUGH THE COMMISSION ON TEACHER CREDENTIALING'S WEBSITE EVERY FIVE YEARS.

 

DSC Career Technical Education (CTE) credential holders are authorized to teach in grades 12 and below in career technical, trade, or vocational courses. 

 

OBTAIN YOUR PRELIMINARY CREDENTIAL
