Certified Teachers
Internationally certified teachers have completed their training in another country, and are now seeking a permanent, professional teaching license in Manitoba. The Certification Unit of Manitoba Education may require international teachers to complete additional courses in order to qualify for a license. Students may enrol in the Faculty of Education in order to complete these requirements.
