Profess ional Clear Credential In order to earn an SB2042 Professional Clear Credential, you must first hold a Preliminary Credential. To clear your credential, the state requires a CCTC-approved, two-year induction program at your employing district. However, if the candidate presents a verification letter indicating that an induction program is not available, he or she may apply for the Fifth Year Program at Biola University which includes 30-units beyond the B.A. (See Profes- sional Clear Credential requirements in the graduate education section of the School of Education.) Graduate units from induction or Fifth Year may be applied toward an M.A. in Education. See the graduate education programs in the School of Education section of this catalog or see a graduate advisor for details. Additionally, for your credential, you must show verification of current training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)—infant, child and adult—that meets the standards in either the Ameri- can Heart Association “B” or “C” level course or the Red Cross CPR course.
The credential program at Biola University meets the require- ments for the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Certificate (identical to the California Preliminary Credential program except that BBST 465 Christian Philosophy of Educa- tion must also be completed). Application information may be obtained from the ACSI liaison in the School of Education Office.
