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.
Tuition fees for each course in the certificate program is $735 (CAD). Fees are paid per course, per term via our online payment system in SOLUS.
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.
