Teacher Certificate Program

The Teacher Certificate Program (TCP) is a non-degree program designed for individuals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in any field and who intend to become teachers. TCP is the fastest way to get into the Teaching Profession, because it requires only 18 units of Professional Education subjects to qualify for taking the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).

Individuals who complete the TCP are given a certification (NOT a degree or diploma) that they have completed the 18-unit professional education requirement to be allowed to take the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). (See sources 1, 2, 3)
