Intern Application and Credential Completer Application are emailed to candidates when requested. A Certificate of Eligibility is issued to the Completer who does not have an Administrative position. Once Credential Student Service Center (CSSC) has verified eligibility and submitted the online recommendation to CTC they will be emailed by CTC (to the email on CTC Online Educator Account) to Complete Your Program’s Recommendation by answering personal and professional fitness questions and submitting payment. Once payment is submitted to the CTC they can expect a confirmation email that the application has been received. Provided there are no extenuating circumstances, CTC will send an email confirming that the credential has been issued. The issued credential will be posted and viewable on the CTC’s website: www.ctc.ca.gov. It will not be mailed. It is their responsibility to confirm accuracy. And candidates must contact the CSSC immediately by email if there are errors.
