International AQs:
We still have a few spaces in our International AQ courses this summer. ETFO is offering the Kindergarten AQs in Italy, the Special Education AQs in Spain, the French-as-a-Second Language AQs in France, and the English as a Second Language AQs in Greece. Registration for these courses continues until February 14th.
The online learning component of these courses runs from April 15 – June 22.
The travel component, involving travel and face-to-face learning activities, occurs during the first 2 weeks of July. All of the course work is to be completed by the end of July.
More information can be accessed by clicking on the Destination AQ button to the right.

Note: one of the hallmarks of ETFO AQ and PQP courses is respect for a teacher’s work/life balance. To that end there are no classes scheduled or requirements for candidates to do work during the March break – you do deserve a break – enjoy it!
Please note that the dates, location, and times for onsite courses (the majority of the instruction in-class but some on-line activities as well) may vary. The exact information for those courses will be posted on the individual course information pages.
Please do not leave registration until the last minute as certain courses tend to fill up quickly – once a course reaches capacity registration for the individual course will be closed.
