CSAC Institute Credentials
CREDENTIALED CALIFORNIA COUNTY SUPERVISOR
CREDENTIALED CALIFORNIA COUNTY SENIOR EXECUTIVE
CREDENTIALED CALIFORNIA COUNTY TECHNOLOGY EXECUTIVE
The Institute offers three credential opportunities to those who complete a designated number of credits:
Credentialed California County Supervisor (for elected county supervisors)
Credentialed California County Senior Executive (for senior executives: CAO/CEO, deputy or assistant CAO/CEO, elected and appointed department heads, senior analysts and senior managers)
Credentialed California County Technology Executive (for senior information technology managers and executives). Offered in partnership with the California County Information Services Directors Association
Each credential requires completion of at least 30 credits: 15 credits are from the core courses (100 level); 15 are from elective courses (300 and 400 level). Most Institute courses are three credits. The Technology Credential requires completion of five IT courses and five leadership courses.
Participants may earn a credential by either registering for the Credential Package (see below) or registering for individual classes. Even if you are undecided about earning a Credential, the Institute keeps track of your participation so all courses completed can be counted towards the Credential requirements.

Upon completion of a Credential participants receive:
