Teacher Certification for Qualified Substitutes
You do not need to have a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) to work as a substitute teacher, however if you do hold a B.Ed degree (or an equivalency), please check with the principal (who will put you in-touch with the RSO/CSFN’s Human Resource Officers) to access the paper work needed to get you certified as a teacher in Nunavut.
Here’s a chart outlining the certification process, hopefully helping you understand what happens once all your paper work is submitted. Your principal can put you in touch with the Human Resource Officers from your RSO/ CSFN who can give you internal access of this site to download the teacher certification application.
If you were previously certified as a teacher in Nunavut please contact the Registrar directly to ensure your certification is up-to-date. Once your certification is up-to-date ensure that this information is sent to your Human Resource (HR) Officer to update your status from non-certified to a certified substitute. This is solely the responsibility of the teacher to ensure his/ her certification is up-to-date and that this information is shared with the HR Officer.
