§ 80015. Requirements for the Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development (CLAD) Certificate or English Learner Authorization.
A Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development (CLAD) Certificate or English learner authorization can be earned in the following ways:
(2) Verification of experience learning a second language obtained through one of the options described in subsections (A) through (P). One of the options must be completed. Partial completion of more than one option will not be accepted except that an applicant may combine partial completion of semester units under option (A) with language training under option (B) at fifteen hours of training equaling one semester unit. Any option or the combination of (A) and (B), with the exception of option (P), must be completed with one language.
(A) Completion of six semester units (or nine quarter units) in coursework that emphasizes the learning of a language other than English (including American Sign Language). A grade of “C” or better. “Pass,” or “Credit,” must be earned in each course. This option must be verified by an official transcript from a regionally accredited college or university, or comparable institution outside the United States. Professional Development and Continuing Education units from such institutions are acceptable. Coursework in the methodology of teaching a language is not acceptable.
(B) Completion of 90 hours of language training, with a grade of “C” or better or the equivalent, in a language other than English offered under the auspices of the California Department of Education's Bilingual Teacher Training Program (BTTP) or by a county office or school district whose program, prior to its implementation, has been deemed equivalent to the BTTP by the California Department of Education. This training is to be verified by a letter signed by an authorized representative of the BTTP or county or district program.
(G) A score on a College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) examination in a language other than English administered by the College Board equal to or higher than the minimum score recommended by the American Council on Education for awarding credit for two semesters, verified by an official score report.
(N) Achievement of a score on the Advanced Placement Examination in a language other than English offered by Educational Testing Service for which college credit or advanced standing is awarded, verified by either an official transcript or a letter from the registrar's or admission's office from a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
(O) Achievement on a college or university placement examination in a language other than English for which 1) a minimum of six semester academic units or the equivalent quarter units are awarded or 2) placement in an advanced level course, defined as no lower than the second year of a multi-year sequence, is given or 3) an exemption from a one year requirement is granted. This must be verified by either an official transcript or a letter from the registrar's or admission's office from a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
(5) The holder of a Supplementary Authorization in either English as a Second Language (ESL) or Introductory ESL may use that document to earn a CLAD Certificate or English learner authorization. A Supplementary Authorization in ESL or Introductory ESL will remain valid as long as the holder's prerequisite teaching credential remains valid. A Supplementary Authorization in ESL or Introductory ESL authorizes instruction for English language development, as defined in Education Code Section 44253.2(a), at the levels and in the grades specified in Sections 80057.5 and 80089 as those sections existed on January 1, 1993.

The coursework must be applicable toward a bachelor's degree or a higher degree at a regionally accredited college or university and must be verified by an official transcript from such an institution. A grade of “C” or higher, “Pass,” or “Credit” must be earned in each course. Coursework completed to satisfy this requirement must be verified by a Commission-approved CTEL program accredited by the Committee on Accreditation as provided in Education Code §§ 44373(c).
