CIP Codes

Below you'll find Career and Technical Education (CTE) Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Codes and Vocational codes (V-code).

V-Code

CTE V-Codes are tied to the certification code and dictate the courses that a teacher is certified to teach. The teachers’ education or industry experience is reviewed to determine the V-codes for certification.

CIP Code

CIP Codes are federally accepted course codes that identify courses taught throughout the United States, including CTE courses. CIP codes are aligned to V-codes that clarify which courses the teacher has been certified to teach. CIP codes are also used for reporting purposes from the district to OSPI. See the 2024-25 CIP Code Chart for more information.

Please Note: Nontraditional Gender Identification indicates CTE Courses designated as preparing students for non-traditional fields based upon the indicator on the CIP code chart, and the student’s gender.
