Thank you for your reply 
I am in New York. There is is such a shortage of CTE teachers that they opened up some very relaxed alternate alternate paths to gain certification. Of course there are a few more hoops...and it starts as a temporary cert. You have to have a school hire you and complete other education related courses within 2 years to be fully certified. For the TESU Associates, is it best to do the courses first then register, or register then do the courses?
Also wanted to add, this path is new. It was originally what I thought of doing, but 4 years ago you had to have both a degree in business AND education. I was ecstatic earlier this year when I learned about the new alternate paths!
