Can I be exempted from writing the Math Proficiency Test (MPT)? Are there any equivalencies that qualify instead?

Applicants who completed an initial teacher education program designed specifically to prepare teachers to teach an Indigenous language (Anishinaabek, Mushkegowuk, Onkwehonwe, Lenape) are exempt from the MPT requirement.

This exemption applies only to applicants who have completed one of these programs:

1. Lakehead University: Indigenous Teacher Language Diploma (ILTD)
2. Nipissing University: Teacher of Indigenous Language as a Second Language Program (TILSL)

In limited circumstances, the College may also consider exempting an applicant or member from the MPT requirement if acceptable documentation of their employment as an Indigenous languages teacher is provided to us.

There are no equivalencies or alternatives to the MPT.
