Students are alerted to the following certification requirement which became effective on September 15, 1990.

All persons applying for certification as teachers in Alberta will be subject to the following restriction on eligibility:

Except where the Minister of Education decides otherwise, the Registrar for Alberta Education shall not issue a teaching certificate to:

a. a person who has been convicted of an indictable offence under the Criminal Code; or

b. a person who the Registrar has reason to believe should not be issued a certificate.

Applications for a teaching certificate shall be directed to the Registrar. As part of the application process, applicants will be asked whether they possess a criminal conviction. If the response is yes, the nature of the conviction and when and where they were convicted must be detailed.

The Registrar shall refuse to issue a teaching certificate to any applicant possessing an indictable criminal conviction. The Registrar may refuse to issue a teaching certificate to an applicant possessing a criminal conviction of a nature deemed unsuitable for teaching children or for any other reason. Applicants may appeal the decision of the Registrar to a Certification Appeal Committee established by the Minister. Appeals must be made in writing within 30 days of being advised of the Registrar's decision to not issue a certificate.
