Counselling Psychology and English as a Second Language (ESL) are not acceptable
subjects for initial certification in BC. Generally these teaching areas are developed
as additional subjects, after completion of the initial teacher education program.
You will need one of the subject areas listed above in order to qualify for certification
in BC if being assessed for secondary school level. If you do not have one of the
acceptable subject areas, but you hold a current, valid, unrestricted teaching certificate
in another Canadian province or territory, you may qualify for a BC Basic Certificate
under the Agreement on Internal Trade.
