RICA Prep Classes
In our live RICA prep courses, you'll prepare for the exam under the guidance of an experienced teacher.
You'll learn all the key content knowledge you need to pass, with classes based on the test specifications published by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. You'll also work through a practice test, learning how to apply your knowledge to the types of questions you'll encounter on the actual exam.
After the class, you'll receive 3 months of free online access to the RICA Prep Class slideshow, so you can continue studying what you've learned.
Update: The Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) has been retired as of October 31, 2025.
Some teacher candidates may now take a Commission-approved performance assessment that includes literacy instruction or take the Foundations of Reading Test (FoRT). We advise consulting with the CTC or your credential advisor for details about your individual situation and requirements.
