DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION (TECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES)
The minimum academic admission requirement of the Technological Studies program is a secondary school graduation diploma or equivalent, including Grade 12 English. An undergraduate degree is not required for the Diploma in Education (Technological Studies). Applicants are required to present documented training, experience, and qualifications related to one of the 7 following broad based Technological Studies areas: Communications, Construction, Design and Technology, Hospitality Services, Manufacturing, Personal Services, and Transportation. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 184/87 of the Ontario College of Teachers Act, applicants must have at least 5 years of wage-earning experience or at least 3700 hours of wage-earning experience plus graduation from a post-secondary education program of 24 months or more related to the area selected as a teaching subject in Technological Studies. Wage-earning experience should be sustained with extended periods of continuous employment no less than 16 months in length. Preference will be given to candidates with formal apprenticeship, technician, or technologist training who can demonstrate expertise in more than one occupation housed within their broad-based Technological Studies teaching subject. Admission is conditional upon an applicant successfully passing a pre-admission examination once his or her formal training and experience have been deemed acceptable.
