Teacher Qualification Services

The Teacher Qualifications Service (TQS) staff evaluate your course work and official transcripts. All public, Catholic and francophone school boards will set your salary based on your:

1. collective agreement;

2. years of teacher education; and 

3. years of teaching experience. 

Each employing school board pays teachers according to a salary grid. The salary grid is part of that board's collective agreement.

 

First TQS Review

TQS staff review your transcripts to determine your years of teacher education. Salary grids are part of all teachers' collective agreements. TQS staff use a set of governing principles to complete reviews. 

Public, separate, and francophone school boards use TQS reviews to determine teachers' pay. Some private schools also use TQS reviews.
