Credential Program
As a local education agency (LEA), MetroED LEA offers credentialing services and teacher
preparation training both for adult and for career-technical education instructors throughout
Northern California. In 1996, the LEA was authorized to issue Designated Subjects credentials
in Vocational Education (currently Career-Technical Education (CTE-5 year), Adult Education (AE),
Special Subjects (ROTC and Drivers Education), and Supervision and Coordination (AE and CTE). In 2011,
MetroED was approved to offer the Career Technical Education 3 year credential to candidates who filed for
their (CTE) credential after August 31, 2010. The Educator Preparation programs are available through MetroED
LEA (San Jose Location), Napa Adult Education, and Santa Cruz County Office of Education.
