Why Teaching and Why Now?
The CTC has reinstated the California Basic Skills Test (CBEST) to prove your readiness to teach. The good news is, you can have your undergrad courses evaluated to see if they reduce your basic skills requirement (BSR) options. If you’ve applied at Alliant International University, even if you’re not a current student, we’ll do that for you at no cost. If you need to take, part or all, of the CBEST exam we’ll give you a free three-month subscription to Study.com to help you prepare. *
Why not turn your bachelor’s degree into a credential and start on a rewarding career as a teacher in elementary, middle, high school, or special education. We have partnerships with over 2/3 of the school districts in the state of California. Programs can be completed in as few as 12 months. You can do it with Alliant, the Teaching Credential Specialists.
*You must apply for the program to receive these benefits
