Post-Graduate Certificates
Our Post-Graduate Certificates allow you to enhance your expertise in a specific area of education. Credits from a Post-Graduate Certificate can be used for advanced standing into a Graduate Diploma or Professional Master of Education.
Ontario Post-Graduate Certificates
Each post-graduate certificate program consists of 5* AQ/ABQ courses (4 required and 1 elective) accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers. Each certificate focuses on an area of education that's relevant to Ontario teachers. Our courses reflect Ontario Ministry of Education policies, OCT regulations, and current research-driven theory and are written and taught by highly experienced educators from across the province.
*One AQ/ABQ course may be taken through another institution.
