Additional Qualifications (AQ)

Additional qualifications are governed in Ontario by Regulation 176/10 and are administered by the Ontario College of Teachers.

The Centre for Flexible Teaching and Learning at Nipissing University provides in-service education courses for teachers including:  Additional Qualification (AQ) courses, and Principal's Qualification (PQP) courses.  

In conjunction with the Schulich School of Education, we also offer Additional Basic Qualifications (ABQs) as well as Honour Specialist courses. Nipissing's teacher education programs have been in existence since 1909 and have an excellent reputation.

 

To successfully complete a course, all assignments, including the practicum (if applicable), must be completed successfully. Upon successful completion of courses with a minimum grade of 60%, students will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for the appropriate additional qualification. To be recommended, candidates must have met all pre-requisite requirements, must have submitted all required documentation and must not be in financial arrears to the University. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they submit all required documentation and meet all prerequisite requirements, as well as any requirements that are designated on their Certifiicate of Qualification. Teachers of Technological Studies should also note that O. Reg. 176/10 limits the courses that can be taken to a specific list of courses.

 

Admission requirements and course descriptions for AQ courses are available on the Professional Development for Teachers website
