Each post-graduate certificate program consists of five full-year university courses (6.0 non-degree credit-units per course). Candidates are required to complete five courses in the course package to be eligible for the certificate. Each course successfully completed will appear on a Queen's University transcript. Parts 1, 2, and Specialist are required, while two additional courses are chosen from a list of electives.

Our programs have been evaluated and approved by the British Columbia Teacher Qualification Service (TQS) as complete packages. At this time, transfer courses from other programs or universities are not accepted.

Tuition fees for each course in the certificate program is $745 (CAD). Fees are paid per course, per term via our online payment system in SOLUS.

The BC Teacher Qualification Service recognizes Queen's certificates as 'one-year post-graduate integrated programs in education'. Completion of these course packages may qualify BC-certified teachers for a teaching category upgrade within the BC provincial framework. If a category upgrade is one of your considerations for pursuing a Queen's post-graduate certificate program, we recommend that you consult the BC Teacher Qualification Service before applying.

It is possible to complete a post-graduate certificate program (five courses) in just under a year. While the BC Teacher Qualification Service allows up to ten years to complete the requirements, we encourage our candidates to finish within three years.

Applicants to the Professional Master of Education (PME) degree program qualify for advanced standing in PME 800 (Self-Regulated Learning) and/or PME 811 (Innovation in Teaching and Learning) if they have successfully completed a post-graduate certificate through the Continuing Teacher Education Office at Queen's.

To be considered for advanced standing, please submit a written statement with your application to the PME program.

You can apply for the advanced standing once you are accepted into the program. For more information, contact the Graduate Studies Office by email at edonline@queensu.ca.

If you have successfully completed a master's program in Inclusive or Special Education, you are not required to complete CONT 904 Inclusive Education Part 1.
