Can I take an Additional Qualification (AQ) course while holding a Temporary Certificate?

If you have successfully completed your program of professional education, you may take AQ courses through a faculty of education. You will not be admitted into an AQ course without first having completed your program of professional education.

Please note that if you successfully complete an AQ course, the AQ will not appear on your Temporary Certificate of Qualification and Registration. Instead, once you convert your Temporary Certificate to a Certificate of Qualification and Registration, the AQ will be reflected on your Certificate provided you meet all other requirements outlined in Part III of Regulation 176/10 to be awarded the qualification.

Should you complete the AQ course before your program of professional education is completed, the AQ will be considered by the College to have been taken for personal professional learning purposes and will not appear on your Certificate of Qualification and Registration.

Please ensure that you arrange to have an official transcript sent directly to the College, confirming completion of the program of professional education. The College will also require a report from your faculty confirming completion of the program.
