OCDE CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) TEACHER CREDENTIAL PROGRAM The Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) is an approved Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) Program Sponsor for the Designated Subjects (DS) CTE Credential. The program evaluates CTE credential applications and makes credential recommendations to CTC as well as providing a series of sequenced coursework that prepares new CTE candidates to become effective teachers.

A teacher with a DS CTE credential cannot teach a-g courses. A teacher with a previously issued DS in Vocational Education needs to earn the new DS in CTE to continue teaching.
