What is the relationship among credentials?
If you have at least a 40% administrative position, have passed CBEST, have three years of teaching experience, and are accepted into the Internship Program, you may apply for an Internship Credential. This credential is good for two years. By the end of those two years, you must have completed the program for the Preliminary Credential. Should you obtain a full time administrative position at the conclusion of your course work, you apply for a Preliminary Credential. If you do not have an administrative position, you can apply for a Certificate of Eligibility, which has no expiration date. Within five years of securing an administrative position, you must complete a Professional Credential program. To apply for the Tier II Credential you must have 2 years of administrative experience.
