Professional Licensure by State - Colorado
An interim authorization is issued to a first-time applicant who holds or is eligible to hold a license in another state, but who does not have the three or more years of full-time, licensed experience (as detailed above) or who has not demonstrated content mastery via the Colorado State Board of Education-approved content exam(s) for those endorsement area(s) - or both – thereby allowing the candidate to work in Colorado schools while also giving a year’s time to prepare for and take the required exam(s). An interim authorization may be renewed only once. Upon successful completion of the content exam(s), an applicant may then apply for an initial license.
