This certificate prepares students to support secondary-level teaching through substitute and classroom-assistance roles. The 30-credit, first-cycle program covers pedagogical, didactic, and andragogical foundations, along with learning strategies for working with diverse student populations. Coursework addresses professional intervention techniques, adolescent development, and subject-specific content in French, mathematics, and science and technology, preparing students to support instruction across core secondary subjects. The program is offered in full-time and part-time formats at the Gatineau and Saint-Jérôme campuses, with admission open in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. It leads to a Certificate credential from Université du Québec en Outaouais, and combines classroom-relevant subject knowledge with foundational teaching skills rather than full teacher certification.
