Additional Documents You Must Submit (Teachers of Technological Education)
Teachers of Technological Education need to submit the following additional documents in addition to their application to the College:
Secondary School Diploma
Send a photocopy of your
secondary school diploma (Grade 12) or equivalent to the College.
Evidence of Work Experience
If you worked for an employer,
send the College a copy of a letter on the company
letterhead, written and signed by a supervisor familiar with your work.
The letter must include the length of employment, with start and end
dates, and your job description, with a list of skills you used. The
work must be related to the technological subjects you want to be certified
to teach. Teaching experience cannot be used to satisfy the work experience requirement.
In exceptional cases, where it is impossible to provide original documents (an employer's bankruptcy, death,
or retirement), you can send the following three documents, which
the College will consider:
- an original sworn statement (a document showing you have certified
the truth), signed by a commissioner of oaths, that lists why the information
is not available
- an original sworn statement, signed by a commissioner of oaths, that
states the workplace, length of employment, with start and end dates,
and your job description, with a list of skills you used
- if you have worked in Ontario in your technical field, copies of
T4 tax forms that support the duration and place of employment,
or a statement from an accountant that confirms your income
If you were self-employed, send the Ontario College
of Teachers the following four documents:
- an original sworn statement, signed by a commissioner
of oaths, that says you were self-employed and includes details about length
of employment, with start and end dates, and your job description, with
a list of skills you used
- a copy of the business licence or registration that
supports the sworn statement
- copies of income tax assessments, a statement from an
accountant, or an annual report that support the sworn statement
- a copy of at least one letter from a major supplier
attesting to materials you bought during the period or a letter from
a client attesting to the work you did
Proof of Technological Competence
You must submit
proof that you are competent in your technological field. Please
submit the following documents to help the College evaluate
your competence:
- a copy of your certificate from the jurisdiction where you were originally
certified to teach technological education
- your academic record - In some countries, this is the same as your secondary school diploma,
because you may have attended a technical school. If you received your technical education from a post-secondary technical institution, your educational records or official transcript(s) must be sent directly from the institution to the College. Please note that the institution must be formally recognized
- proof of work experience - If you submitted proof of work experience (mentioned above), this same document may be used toward establishing technological competence
If you do not have a post-secondary degree in your area of technological education, you must include:
- photocopies of references from your employers confirming your successful work and listing the technological skills that you used on the job
- a photocopy of your trade certificate. If your trade is not regulated, you need to provide copies of documents that verify your training and supervised experience in your area of technological education
