Teachers plan lessons, assess student progress, and manage classrooms in K-12 schools. In Saskatchewan, you need a four-year Bachelor of Education and a professional certificate from the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) before you can be hired by a school division. Every province we serve requires a B.Ed. plus a provincial teaching certificate; the credential is broadly portable across Canada.
The NOC 41221 (Elementary and kindergarten teachers) and NOC 41220 (Secondary school teachers) covers the following day-to-day work:
There is more than one way in. Pick the path that matches your timeline and how you want to learn.
U of R offers direct-entry four-year B.Ed. programs in Elementary, Middle Years, Secondary, Arts Education, and French Education, plus a two-year Bachelor of Education After Degree (BEAD) for people who already hold a bachelor's in another subject. Includes internship placements in Regina and southern Sask school divisions.
USask offers a four-year direct-entry B.Ed. and a two-year after-degree option in Elementary, Middle Years, and Secondary streams. Includes Northern Teacher Education Program (NORTEP) partnerships and the Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) for Indigenous students.
Fully-accredited B.Ed. program for Metis and non-status First Nations students, delivered in Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert campuses. Graduates receive the same U of R or USask B.Ed. and are eligible for SPTRB certification.
The equivalent Alberta pathways. If you train in Alberta, your credential is portable to Saskatchewan and most other provinces.
UAlberta offers Elementary and Secondary B.Ed. streams with 15+ subject majors on the Secondary side. Includes Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP) and community-based delivery options for northern Alberta students.
Werklund is a "second-degree" program: complete a subject-area bachelor's (arts, science, etc.) first, then apply for the two-year B.Ed. A concurrent five-year option combines both degrees.
SPTRB (Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board)
SPTRB is the independent regulator that issues Professional A Certificates in Saskatchewan. You cannot be hired as a classroom teacher by a school division without one. Applicants submit university transcripts, a criminal record check, and a completed application; SPTRB reviews academic and internship coursework against provincial standards before issuing the certificate. Annual renewal is required.

School authorities cannot employ a teacher without one of these certificates.

The Yukon Department of Education issues Yukon Teacher Certificates. Requires a B.Ed. from a recognized Canadian or international program and a criminal record check.
