Consecutive Education Degree Requirements

The Consecutive Education program prepares university graduates (BEd) or secondary school graduates (DEd) to become educators.

The Director of Education Student Services (Faculty registrar) will inform the Registrar of the Ontario College of Teachers when a teacher candidate has successfully completed the program. Graduating teacher candidates who plan to teach in Ontario must formally register to become members of the College and be awarded the Certificate of Qualification and Registration as a teacher.
