Additional Qualifications (AQ) Courses are accredited programs designed for teachers to enhance their qualifications in specific teaching divisions or subject areas. These courses are recognized by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) and can be added to a teacher's Certificate of Qualification, which is considered by school boards for hiring decisions.
UWindsor offers over 80 online AQ, ABQ and PQP courses to help you achieve your goals as an educator!
