Exams and licensure
California State Assembly Bill 2086 was signed in 2010 that requires teacher preparation programs to publish recent pass rates on their website. In accordance with the spirit of AB 2086, Compton College has identified the following programs that lead to employment for which passage of a state licensing examination or state certification is required (or a national certification is beneficial). Below you will find websites that provide additional information regarding the state licensure or state certification required for employment. Please note that not all websites include state licensure or certification passage rate information. Data will continue to be updated as California licensing and/or regulatory agencies make the data electronically available.
