AQ, ABQ, & HSQ Course Information
The Ontario College of Teachers expects all its members to engage in ongoing professional learning. Additional qualification (AQ) courses are one important aspect of this.

Our AQ courses include flexible delivery methods and cover a wide range of topics.

- Additional Qualification (AQ) Courses
