    Hi friends,

    I completed my Master degree in Education at University of Houston. Now I moved to Cali to live with my spouse. I never have any teaching credential. I actually got my BA degree in another country. I always want to be an elementary teacher and I know that I need CA multiple subject teaching credential. As I look at their requirements, I realize that I can learn at home some tests such as CBEST, CSET and RICA. However I don't understand the requirement "pass an examination in the Provisions and Principles of the U.S Constitution given by a regionally-accredited college or university" and "complete a Commission-approved Professional Teacher Induction Program." Do they mean that I have to find some college to study courses to earn them?

    I asked around some college which offer Multiple Credential Teaching Program and the price was crazy. I can't afford over $17,000 for a credential. I'm newly married and I don't have much money yet. There are so much things to worry for future life. Plus, some of the tests I believe I can totally self-study.

    Have any of you have experience in CA Multiple credential program?

    Please help with advice,

    I am really appreciated,

    Check with your local CSU. Assuming you qualify for resident tuition, I think you'll find it much more reasonable, also it looks like it's possible to get financial aid.

    An example:

    It looks to me like it would cost you something like $3500 a semester for three semesters.

    Thank you for your information but I'm not qualified for resident tuition. That's why the tuition fee offered to be was so expensive. And I'm trying to find ways to reduce the cost. Self-study some tests for example.

    Again, thank you so much for the advice!

    Your best option would probably be Western Governor's University. They have programs that offer credential only (and master's programs, too) at a self-paced format. I hope that helps you. Their tuition is very inexpensive (from my perspective).
