Professional Certification
Experience
The criteria for recognizing experience is outlined in Part 3 of the Teaching Certificates and Qualifications M.R. Regulation 115/2015 under the Education Administration Act.
Experience earned in Manitoba at an approved school, institution or adult learning centre while holding a valid Manitoba professional certificate, may be recognized.
Experience earned outside Manitoba while holding an approved certification in the jurisdiction may be recognized if that experience was earned at:
- An approved public school or
- An approved independent school, if the jurisdiction recognizes the programs of study and standings awarded to the students of the school, or
- An approved school, child or youth institution or an adult learning centre if:
- the person was supervised by an approved educational authority
- the programs of study are relevant to those taught in the jurisdiction's public school system
Experience earned in a school that has entered into an affiliation agreement with the minister while holding a valid Manitoba professional certificate may be recognized.
Experience earned in an approved Canadian post-secondary institution, while holding a valid teaching certificate in the jurisdiction may be recognized.
Experience gained by a school clinician employed in an adult learning centre is not eligible for recognition. The regulatory intent is to recognize the provision of clinician services to school-age children.
Evaluation of teaching experience acquired outside Manitoba requires a copy of a valid teaching certificate from the jurisdiction when the experience was acquired. PCU reserves the right to request additional information.
