Program details

Overview

This 30-credit undergraduate certificate is designed to increase the professional teaching and intervention competencies of practising educators, helping them adapt classroom practice to diverse student needs, including students with disabilities or learning and adaptation difficulties. It uses a modular structure, letting students choose from two required courses and nine elective courses across four thematic blocks: classroom climate, supporting students with disabilities or adaptation difficulties (EHDAA), French-language orthopedagogy, and mathematics orthopedagogy. Courses are delivered in person during the week, in daytime and evening sessions, with a single Fall intake for Canadian applicants. It is intended for working teachers seeking targeted professional development rather than a first teaching credential.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission is offered on two bases. Base etudes universitaires: applicants must hold a valid teaching credential or authorization to teach from Quebec's Ministere de l'Education. Base experience: applicants need a minimum of three years of teaching experience at the preschool, elementary, secondary, or adult general education level, confirmed by an employer attestation. All applicants must submit their teaching credential or authorization document. The certificate is not open to international applicants, and admission is offered for the Fall term only.
