  • 2042 Single Subject Credential
  • 2042 Single Subject Credential with Bilingual (Spanish-English) Authorization

The 2042 Multiple Subject Credential authorizes the holder to teach grades: K-6 in any self-contained classroom, such as those commonly found in elementary school in California.

The 2042 Single Subject Credential authorizes the holder to teach grades: 7-12 in a single subject area approved by CCTC.
