To Apply for an Administrative Services Preliminary Credential or Certificate of Eligibility, please complete the following:
-
Visit the Credential Services website.
-
Scroll down to the green Verification and Processing box.
-
Submit a Credential Recommendation Request form. There are two processes depending on whether you do not have an administrative position at the time of the recommendation or whether you are employed as an administrator. Please see below:
If you do not have an Administrative Position at the time of program completion/recommendation, please select Certificate of Eligibility on the Credential Recommendation Request form.
The Certificate of Eligibility is a California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) issued document verifying completion of an approved Administrative Services Credential Program. You are eligible to apply for positions requiring an Administrative Services Credential if you hold a Certificate of Eligibility. This document is usually required to apply for positions, so it is important that you complete the recommendation process. The Certificate of Eligibility does not expire, and you do not need to complete any further requirements until you are issued a Preliminary Credential. When you are hired in a position the district will assist you in applying directly to the CTC for the Preliminary Credential. The Preliminary Credential is issued for 5 years, and you must complete an Induction program before being issued the Clear Credential. After being issued the Certificate of Eligibility you secure a job, please work with your district to submit a recommendation for a Preliminary.
(Note: Put this at the top as well)
If you are employed as an administrator at the time of recommendation, please select Administrative Services Preliminary Credential on the Credential Recommendation Request form
You will need to submit a completed CL-777 Employment as an Administrator Form and upload the form in the Credential Recommendation Request form. This form is completed by you and the employing district: https://www.ctc.ca.gov/docs/default-source/leaflets/cl777.pdf?sfvrsn=93bed076_25
The Cal Poly Pomona Credential Office Analyst will then recommend you for a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential rather than the Certificate of Eligibility.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to the Credential Services office staff.
