TL Handbook CBEST

Am I required to take the CBEST?

When someone goes from one teaching credential to another teaching credential, such as from multiple subject to teacher librarian, then the CBEST is NOT required. However, if one goes from a teaching to a service credential, such as multiple subject to administrative services, then the CBEST would be required if it was not already met by the base credential. If you wish to be credentialed in another state, please check with that state’s testing requirements.
