Non-legally qualified teachers

Non-legally qualified teachers are encouraged to undertake teacher training in order to develop the professional skills essential to the profession. There are flexible programs that make it easier to balance your studies with a teaching job.

The Guichet J’obtiens mon brevet! team from the Fédération des centres de services scolaires du Québec (FCSSQ) can assist you with the process of qualifying as a teacher. For further information, please visit the Guichet J’obtiens mon brevet ! (in French only) or contact the team by email.

To find out about all the recognized teacher training programs available, visit the Listes des programmes de formation à l’enseignement menant à une autorisation d’enseigner (in French only) web page.

If you are employed as a teacher and have been granted a letter of tolerance or hold a provisional teaching licence, you may be eligible for financial assistance to undertake teacher training. As this financial assistance is provided through a school service centre, a school board or an accredited private institution, you should contact your employer if you have any questions on this matter.
