Education and Training

The following Designated Subjects Credential courses meet the professional competencies specified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for holders of preliminary credentials in Adult and Vocational Education. This two-level program first helps occupational and adult teachers develop survival-level classroom skills and then assists them in making the transition to full-time professional educators. These courses are approved by the San Diego Office of Education and partially meet the requirements to clear the preliminary credential.
