California Online Institutes for Educators

Earn your CCEE certification in Personal Finance or Entrepreneurship through a flexible, self-paced online Institute built for California teachers.

Two Paths. One Goal: Classroom-Ready Educators.

Our institutes are designed to provide educators with comprehensive, content-rich professional learning that builds both content knowledge and instructional expertise.

The Institutes are aligned with the U.S. Personal Finance Certification Examination and U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification Examination, equipping teachers with the content knowledge, instructional strategies, curriculum and resources that they need to teach both subjects while preparing students to pass the exams.

Both exams are approved for three hours of Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) at community colleges nationwide and are currently under review by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.

CCEE’s Online Institutes give California educators a deep, practical foundation in personal finance and entrepreneurship — paired with hundreds of classroom-ready resources they can use right away. Each Institute is self-paced and flexible, built around live Zoom sessions for statewide networking, a curated library of lessons and activities, and a CCEE Certification, Certificate of Completion, and Digital Badge upon finishing.

Choose the Institute that fits your classroom — or complete both to build a complete personal finance and entrepreneurship pathway for your students.
