Renewing your Current Credential
Colorado has joined the National Career Cluster movement and adopted a Career Cluster Model organized into 17 Clusters and 81 Pathways. Credentials are issued by cluster and pathway instead of by program area.
If you are applying to renew an existing credential you will need to:
- Step 1: Determine if your Initial or Professional credential was issued by program area or by cluster and pathway. If your credential was issued after July 1, 2007, you can proceed to Step 3. If your credential was issued prior to July 1, 2007 you will need to determine the cluster and pathway(s) in which you need to be credentialed in. If you do not know the cluster or pathway, contact your CTE Administrator or use our Pathway Reference Guide.
- Step 2: Review the Postecondary Credentialing Criteria for additional information on the clusters and pathways in which you may qualify. If you are concerned that you may not meet all of the requirements see our exceptions information page.
- Step 3: Submit the following items to your credentialing officer:
- Renewal/Reinstatement Form
- Other supporting documents as noted on Renewal Application (This will include documentation validating that you met the requirements in you existing credential)
- NOTE: 15 hours of professional development = 1 semester hour
Postsecondary credentials are issued at each institution. If you have any questions, please contact the Credentialing Officer at your institute.
