How do I qualify for equivalent standing?

You can submit an Application for Equivalent Standing, along with a fee. To be considered, your courses need to be:

• completed at an approved teacher education institution (that is, completed at a faculty of education of an approved postsecondary institution),
• be in addition to your initial teacher education program required for certification,
• consist of at least 125 hours, and
• contain a concentrated study of teaching methodology appropriate for Ontario curriculum in elementary and/or secondary schools.

Please note: Equivalent Standing is only for approved teacher education coursework completed at an institution outside of Ontario.
