Clear Credential In order to earn an SB2042 Clear Credential, the candidate must first hold a Preliminary Credential. To clear the credential, the state requires completion of a CCTC–approved, two–year induction program at the employing district. However, if the candidate presents a verification letter from the employing agency indicating that an Induction program is not available, he or she may apply for the Clear Credential Program at Biola University which includes 30–units beyond the B.A. (See School of Education Clear Credential requirements in the graduate education section of the catalog). Graduate units from student teaching, induction or the Clear Credential Program may be applied toward a Master’s degree in the School of Education. See the graduate programs in the School of Education section of this catalog or meet with a graduate advisor for details. Additionally, the candidate must show verification of current training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)—infant, child and adult—that meets the standards of either the American Heart Association “B” or “C” level course or the Red Cross CPR course.
