Not in Category A4 Yet? Apply to QECO yearly!

Why? We all know that rapid change in education is a constant and many of the factors that affect your QECO category placement can change just as rapidly.  These include:

  • Ongoing recognition of new acceptable academic institutions, both domestic and abroad
  • Changes that affect the acceptability of some course providers
  • Changes with the increase in Additional Qualification course providers
  • Legislative changes which can all have an influence on teachers' upgrading routes. 
QECO strongly urges all teachers who have not yet reached Category A4 to formally apply for upgrading advice or for re-evaluation on a regular basis - each year - to ensure they are following the most direct route to a higher category.  This advice is particularly important to teachers whose academic qualifications were obtained outside of Ontario.
  Remember too that requesting regular upgrading advice can only be of advantage to a teacher - it is easy and you cannot adversely affect your progress or status by asking for advice!
