The Basic Skills Requirement can be met through exam (CBEST or equivalent), qualifying undergraduate courses, or a combination of the two. For further guidance, please visit: Basic Skills Requirement Training Module
The Subject Matter Requirement can be met through passing CSET scores, qualifying degree majors/ coursework, or an approved subject matter program.
