Tref, she's not in California. The CBEST is a basic aptitude test that, in California, is the first step to getting credentialed and, in some districts, allows you to start teaching almost immediately (although some districts have done way with the "emergency credential"). There may be a similar test in Colorado, but like I said, requirements vary widely from state-to-state, so you're going to have to ask someone local for those kinds of details.
