Any educator is welcome to further their professional development by enrolling in our online AQ courses.
However, only those registered with the Ontario College of Teachers will be given recognition for the courses on their OCT Certificate of Qualification and Registration.
Registration for Non-OCT Members
If you are not a member of the Ontario College of Teachers, the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor will allow you to take an online AQ/ABQ course if you complete and submit the Recommendation Waiver Agreement form with your application.
Under this condition, the Faculty of Education will not report successful completion of your course to the Ontario College of Teachers now, or at any time in the future.
If you wish to receive recognition from the Ontario College of Teachers for a course you have taken under this waiver form, you will be required to register in and complete that course again, in accordance with the policies and fees in effect at that time.
NOTE: If you are a new B.Ed. graduate and are in the process of obtaining your Ontario College of Teachers membership, this waiver requirement does not apply to you. When registering, please ensure you provide the six-digit number given to you by the Ontario College of Teachers.
Teachers graduated from a Faculty of Education outside of Ontario
All of the above applies. You are welcome to enrol in our AQ courses, but the actions required on your part depend on your personal objectives for taking the AQ course.
Teachers who have graduated from a Faculty of Education outside of Ontario who intend for their AQ study to be recorded on their OCT Certificate of Qualification must first be members in good standing with the Ontario College of Teachers before they can be approved for taking an AQ course.
Those simply wishing to further their professional development as an educator, with no formal OCT recognition, must complete and submit the Recommendation Waiver Agreement 
form after registering for a course.
