CTE Endorsement

What is the CTE Endorsement?

Students enrolled in a NYSED-approved CTE program at a school district or BOCES* who successfully complete all requirements earn a technical endorsement. The technical endorsement is imprinted on a seal to be affixed to the diploma and includes the phrase Career and Technical Endorsement.

Requirements for students to obtain the technical endorsement include:

• completion of a minimum of 22 units of credit** [CR 100.5(a)(3) and 100.5(d)(6)(ii)(a)(2)];

• passing grades on five required Regents examination(s) or approved alternatives [CR 100.2(f)];

• completion of a minimum of 3.5 CTE credits;

• completion of a 3-part technical assessment (written, demonstration, project components) [CR 100.5(d)(6)(i)(b)];

• completion of work-based learning experiences as provided by the approved program [CR 100.5 (d)(6)(iv)(a)(2)(iv)]; and
