Abstract	The purpose of this quantitative study was to describe and compare the redemption of a substitute teacher certificate at a college in south Texas that is embedded in an introduction to the teaching profession course. Upon successful completion, the student was required to redeem the certificate by paying a nominal fee through a continuing education department. Of the qualified population (6,165) enrolled over eight years, 1,786 (28.97%), substitute teaching certificates were redeemed. Today, many substitute teachers are required to have more than high school equivalent educational training. To increase the necessary pool of qualified substitute teachers, it is imperative for educational leaders to improve the number of redeemed certificates in college courses. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to find significant differences among age, gender, ethnicity or race, campus location, degree declared, and field of study over an eight-year span. There were statistically significant differences when comparing students who redeemed certificates and gender, ethnicity or race, age groups, campus location, and field of study. The researcher found that there were no significant differences between redeemed certificates and declared degrees. For the statistically significant findings, the researcher analyzed those students who redeemed certificates using the campus location as the fixed factor with gender, ethnicity or race, age groups, and field of study as the dependent variables. There were statistically significant differences for those who redeemed certificates based on age groups; however, campus location was not significant for gender, ethnicity or race, and field of study. Adding an automatic redemption in a college course could increase the number of certificates for qualified substitute teachers.
