Graduates are recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers to be awarded the Certificate of Qualification as a teacher and to become members of the College. Upon application to the College, candidates must submit a negative tuberculin test result or a normal chest x-ray administered during the program year or within one year prior to application to the College. Another document required for certification and College membership is a criminal record check, obtainable from a police department.

The Certificate of Qualification shows teachers' previous academic degrees as well as the divisions in which they are qualified. Intermediate-Senior and Technological Education teaching subjects are also listed.
