ANSWER: I'm going through it right now. Their are several credentials you must meet to teach in California - from passing the California Constitution test to obtaining your cpr certification. The size and pieces of equipment would be determined by you - if the state determines you are a professional. They have been asking me for five years to do this - so they are basically walking me through it.
