Apply to QECO If You Are Not Yet In Category A4!
Program 5 – the QECO policy used to evaluate teacher academic credentials to determine salary categories– may look a little different than it has in the past: The name Program 5 is the same; the number of categories is the same; there are still two charts - General Education and Technological Education; and, all the same routes and course requirements are still there.

What is different?
 For most teachers, the charts will appear more transparent and easier to understand.
 For some teachers there may be more route options to consider for moving to the next
 QECO category.
 For others, there may be recognition of some programs and courses that did not exist when
 Program 5 was first created.
 In all cases, teachers who are not yet in Category A4 should apply to QECO.

Applying to QECO every year, until you have reached Category A4 is still your best
assurance that you are following the quickest and most expedient route to the
next category.
