Is a candidate in an educator preparation program eligible for CPE credit?

No, a candidate in an educator preparation program can only receive credit for training provided
by the school district or campus that has hired him/her as a teacher of record. This training
must be documented in some way to the educator preparation program. Many school districts
maintain transcripts of training completed or may issue a certificate of completion with a CPE
number on it. The CPE number is for the convenience of the teachers who need the hours for
certificate renewal not for educator preparation coursework.
