Nunavut Educators' Certification Service

The Nunavut Educators' Certification Service (NECS) is responsible for issuing teaching certificates to all Nunavut educators.

Certificates are issued based on the qualifications of the educator. Different types of certificates allow educators to teach different subjects and grades.

If you are teaching in a Nunavut school, you must hold a valid Nunavut Teaching Certificate. If you do not have one or if your certificate is about to expire, please visit our Application Forms page and download the appropriate form.

We also issue Statements of Professional Standing (SOPS) for former Nunavut teachers moving to other jurisdictions. Visit our Statement of Professional Standing page to download the form to request one.
