Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers the EETC and why is it required?
The English Exam for Teacher Certification (EETC) is coordinated and administered by the independent Centre for the English Exam for Teacher Certification (CEETC) on behalf of the Quebec Ministry of Education. Passing it demonstrates the English-language proficiency required for an English-sector teaching licence in Quebec.
How is the EETC structured?
The EETC has two parts. Part One, Objective Language Tasks, consists of 10 multiple-choice questions and 20 short-answer questions covering pronouns, past participles, spelling, and sentence structure. Part Two, Professional Writing Tasks, requires candidates to write a 300-500 word letter and a 150-300 word email based on an authentic source document and a table of parental responses.
What score do I need to pass the EETC?
Candidates must achieve at least 70% on the Objective Language Tasks and pass both of the Professional Writing Tasks. The EETC is reported on a pass or fail basis, so strong performance is required on both the language tasks and the professional writing tasks.
How many attempts do candidates have to pass the EETC?
Attempt limits are set by individual teacher-education programs. At McGill, for example, students have several opportunities to pass before a key field experience, with additional attempts at the director's discretion. Candidates should confirm the policy with their program.
