Career & Technical Education Teacher Certification

Olympic College ETPL
In Washington State, those who want to teach career and technical education (CTE) classes in middle school or high school are required to hold a CTE Teacher Certificate or Endorsement. There are two routes to CTE certification: 1) Business and industry route (offered at Olympic College), 2) College or university route. Requirements for the certificate are: 1) Extensive professional experience: (6,000 documented hours of paid occupational experience in a specialty or sub-category area; 2,000 hours in an industry occupation and 4,000 hours in a combination of occupational hours and teaching hours). Military experience may be appropriate to this requirement, and 2) Completion of a CTE Teacher Certification Program. The program is based on the requirements in the Washington Administrative Code WAC 181-77-041. To learn more about the process visit the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) website at http://www.k12.21.us/certification/CTEMain.aspx.
