Substitute permits, some child development permits, and all professional, professional clear and clear credentials must be renewed online at www.ctc.ca.gov.

Renewing online 3 (three) months prior to the expiration date usually allows enough time for the document to be granted and downloaded to our payroll system. Be sure to print the last screen containing the 16 digit confirmation number. This last screen will allow us to activate a Temporary County Certificate in the payroll system, alleviating the concern about a pay hold.

In the event that your credential/permit has already expired or the Commission's website won't allow you to renew online, you will need to obtain and process the renewal form (Form 41-4) through the Credentials office at the Shasta County Office of Education. The renewal fee is currently $100 payable by personal check, money order or cashiers check to CCTC.

First time Child Development Permits:

• All necessary paperwork can be found online through the Child Development Training Consortium at www.childdevelopment.org.

Child Development Permit renewals:

• All permits, except for the Child Development Associate Teacher Permit and Regular Children Center Permit, can be renewed online through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
• The Associate Teacher Permit can be renewed one time only and requires the completion of 15 additional units towards a Teacher Permit. To renew this permit, submit a completed application (Form 41-4) and application processing fee directly to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
• Regular Children Center Permits can be renewed by mailing a completed application (Form 41-4) and application processing fee of $100.00 directly to the Commission.
