Alternative Licensure Program Description

The Alternative Licensure Program (ALP) is a state approved non-traditional licensure program offered by NW BOCES to eligible candidates only (see Eligibility Requirements below).

The ALP is designed for the individual who would like to become a licensed teacher in Colorado but has not completed a traditional teacher licensure program through a university.  The program is a one-year “on-the-job” teacher preparation training experience.

Please visit CDE’s website for possible teaching/endorsement areas: http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeprof/Licensure_alt_endorsements.asp
