Welcome to Credentialing!


Why the need for a Career & Technical Education (CTE) credential?

Under the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) Rules and Regulations governing credentialing, all secondary and postsecondary teachers that teach in a Colorado Community College System (CCCS) approved program must hold a valid credential. A credential ensures that the CTE program provides students with well qualified instructors possessing appropriate occupational and educational experience.

We have recently changed the credentialing process from credentialing by program to credentialing by pathway. Before you begin, please review the definition of a Pathway. Then select the option below that best meets your needs.

Secondary Credentialing Options
Option 1: First Time Credentialing Applicants
Option 2: Holding an Initial Credential and moving to a Professional Credential
Option 3: Renewing or Reinstating a Professional Credential
Option 4: Adding a Pathway to an Existing Credenential
Option 5: Applying for an Exception
Postsecondary Credentialing Options
Option 1: First Time Credentialing Applicants
Option 2: Holding an Initial Credential and moving to a Professional Credential
Option 3: Renewing a Professional Credential
Option 4: Renewing a Professional Credential and adding an additional Pathway
Option 5: Applying for an Exception
