FAQs
Is this permit the same as the Emergency Permit offered by the CTC?
Yes! The full name of the permit we’re offering is the “Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit.”
How long is the 30-Day permit valid?
It’s good for one year, and renewable every year.
I already have a Live Scan from Swing. Why do I need another one for my permit?
We get this a lot! Here’s why: Per CA law, every agency you register with needs a Live Scan on file.
Do I still need to take a CBEST to get this permit?
Not anymore! As of 6/29/2024, official transcripts showing the conferral of a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university satisfies both the degree and basic skills requirement.
Can I teach without a permit?
You can! Any jobs you see on your Swing account, you can sign up for. However, having a permit unlocks, on average, 2x as many jobs and 20% higher pay rates.
How do I qualify for the $150?
Onboarded subs will get a $150 stipend after they receive their permit and submit their receipt!
I submitted all my materials to your Permit Assist partner. Why haven't I heard back?
County Offices of Education (COEs) and/or our school district partners often receive a high volume of applications. If you haven't heard back in 2-3 weeks about your application, please let us know by contacting us at permits@swingeducation.com
