The RALC does not evaluate transcripts to provide the applicant with a list of eligible areas. The applicant must specify the areas of interest. CTE areas require employment prior to becoming licensed. Information for CTE licensure is found at www.ncpublicschools.org/licensure/. Contact the CTE Director at the school system you are interested in working with for more information.
