Bachelor of Education After Degree

The Bachelor of Education After Degree is a two-year, on-campus program for students who already hold an undergraduate degree and want to become certified teachers in Alberta. It combines coursework in teaching theory and pedagogy with hands-on classroom experience to prepare graduates to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and support student learning. Admission requires a three- or four-year baccalaureate degree from a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, and additional coursework may be required to meet Alberta teacher certification requirements. Graduates who meet Alberta Education's certification standards, including proof of status in Canada, language proficiency, and a clear criminal record and vulnerable sector check, are eligible to apply for an Alberta teaching certificate. The program runs full-time or part-time, with a Fall intake at Red Deer Polytechnic's campus, and is open to domestic applicants.
