I have completed a Schedule D Part I course in one of the three Additional Qualifications (AQ) related to First Nations, Métis and Inuit Studies. Can I take Part 2 and Specialist courses from another AQ on this list?

Once you complete a Schedule D Part 1 course listed below, you may, under exceptional circumstances, enroll in an Additional Qualification (AQ) Schedule D Part 2 from another course on this list:

• First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples: Understanding Traditional Teachings, Histories, Current Issues and Cultures
• First Nations, Métis and Inuit Students: Counselling and Support formerly: Supporting First Nations, Métis and Inuit Students: Guidance and Counselling
• First Nations, Métis and Inuit Studies formerly known as Native Studies

As stipulated in O. Regulation 176/10 Section 26. (1):

The Registrar shall record on a candidate’s general Certificate of Qualification and Registration an entry for a qualification in part 1 of a three-part specialist qualification in a subject listed in Schedule D if the Registrar has satisfactory evidence that the candidate has successfully completed an accredited program leading to part 1 of the specialist qualification, or an equivalent program.

In this instance, a course provider can use their discretion for your eligibility to enroll in AQ courses.

Part 1 of a course in one stream can be used only once as an entry requirement for you to choose Schedule D Part 2 and Specialist, in either the same or another stream.
