*Courses in Education
If you have completed additional courses in education, that were offered as part of a pre-service teacher program at an Ontario faculty of education and would like to use them towards fulfilling complementary education course condition(s), you must arrange to have an official transcript sent to the College. Once we have received the transcript, we will fulfill your condition(s) and update your certificate.
*Equivalent Standing
The following information will help you determine whether you should pursue a request for equivalent standing for coursework in complementary education.
In order to meet the requirements for equivalent standing, the coursework must be completed at an acceptable teacher education institution outside of Ontario, in addition to your initial teacher education program required for certification.
Once you have completed the coursework at an acceptable teacher education institution, you should arrange for an official transcript to be sent directly to the Ontario College of Teachers from the institution. Once we have received the transcript, the College will determine if the course meets the requirements for equivalent standing and fulfilling your condition(s).
Please note that the College does not conduct pre-assessments of coursework. We can only provide an assessment outcome once we have received an official transcript. Only Schedule C coursework is guaranteed to fulfill the condition(s) of complementary education.
