Community Colleges and Universities

A teacher’s certificate is not required to teach in Ontario's colleges of applied arts and technology, nor is it required to teach within Ontario’s university system. However, in order to be considered for a teaching position at this level, candidates are usually required to hold a Masters or Doctorate degree in the area of specialty.
