Every teacher hired into a teaching position in Yukon is required to go through the Teacher Qualification Board.  The purpose of presentation to the Teacher Qualification Board (TQB) is to determine salary category for new teachers based on post-secondary education and past teaching experience. New teachers must also submit a completed Certification of Teaching Experience Form from each of their previous School Boards for the Teacher Qualification Board’s consideration.  Please note that in order to recognize past teaching experience, the teaching must be done at accredited schools.
