What if I do not have the required college coursework to obtain a paraprofessional license?
There are multiple options to obtain a paraprofessional license without the required college coursework. Candidates may take alternative testing to qualify for a paraprofessional license. The Illinois State Board of Education has also instituted short-term approval for paraprofessionals, which requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. While working on the approval, educators must be fulfilling requirements for the full paraprofessional license. Access more paraprofessional and substitute license information here.
How can I obtain a short term substitute license?
If you hold an Associate’s degree or have 60 semester hours, interested candidates may participate in an approved, online, asynchronous training program to obtain your short-term substitute license. Learn more about short term substitute training in Kane County here or find more information from ISBE regarding short term substitute licensing.
