For a short summary, watch our TikTok!

In California, the CTC issues many different credentials. Which ones authorize you to substitute teach?

• Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit
• Single Subject or Multiple Subject Teaching Credential
• Substitute Teaching Permit for Prospective Teachers
• Life Credential (no longer issued after 1985)

If you have not obtained one of the above credentials, you may be able to continue onboarding as a non-credentialed Swing sub! (Depending on current demand in your area.)

After you onboard, please complete your SwingSub profile and share any credentials you've earned that aren't listed above. You'll get more attention from admins if they see additional credentials, such as paraprofessional, ECE educator, behavior specialist, etc.
