This program, comprised of degree credit courses, provides training in First Nations Language instruction. It is designed for language instructors, teachers, and teachers' aides working in First Nations classrooms who are already fluent in a First Nations language with some literacy in the language as well. Students should also have some teaching experience and experience developing curriculum materials.

Additional requirements:

Students must demonstrate competence in the target First Nations language they are teaching or plan to teach. In consultation with First Nations University of Canada, the Centre for Continuing Education will compile a list of people competent to examine the prospective students. Students will be given the name of the examiner for their particular language. The onus will be on the student to take the test and provide proof of competence when they register for the program. Costs for this service will be incurred by the student.

Students must demonstrate competence in oral and written English, as described in §2.2 of the General Calendar. (See Admissions Section of the University of Regina Undergraduate Calendar)

This program consists of ten (3 credit hour) degree courses.
