diploma program - program overview

the program is part in-person, and part virtual. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 come to one of our campuses (thunder bay or orillia) for 4 weeks, for each of two successive summers. the rest of the program is completed virtually.

世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will have two placements (80 days), one in the first fall/winter, and one in the second fall (and then finish the program in december, so the program is approximately 16-18 successive months).

this program provides the preparation required for certification by the ontario college of teachers for teaching technological studies in ontario high schools. candidates who enter the program with acceptable 5 years wage-earning experience will receive, upon successful completion of the program, a diploma in education - technological studies.

candidates who enter the program with an acceptable university degree or college diploma will receive, upon successful completion of the program, a bachelor of education diploma in technological studies. plans are underway to offer a degree option by fall 2024. graduates of the diploma in education, who later obtain an acceptable degree, can apply to have the diploma converted to a b.ed.

in addition, successful completion of summer 1 and a practicum of a minimum of ten days will qualify candidates on a letter of permission to apply to the ontario college of teachers (oct) for a multi-session transitional certificate, which will allow them to work while continuing the program.
