Teaching Certificate for Higher Education

In collaboration with the Namur Technical Institute (ITN), the Faculty of Education and Training provides theoretical and practical training in preparation for the CAPAES.

The CAPAES is a mandatory certification, established by decree of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, which enables teachers currently employed at universities, adult education institutions offering higher-level programs, at higher arts schools, or any member of the academic or scientific staff responsible for teaching at a university (even if they do not previously hold a teaching credential) to obtain an appropriate teaching credential

PLEASE NOTE! For teachers in pedagogical categories who teach pedagogy, didactics, or training through and based on practice, the required qualification is the Master’s Degree in Teacher Education (MSFE). 

The curriculum includes in-person sessions as well as independent work. It is organized using diverse and flexible teaching and support methods, with an innovative hybrid approach combining in-person and distance learning.

They are delivered using methods tailored to the specific CAPAES audience, emphasizing pedagogical approaches to be promoted in higher education. 

The CAPAES is awarded to candidates who have successfully completed each of the three components (theoretical, practical, and personal portfolio).

Many teaching credentials qualify students for a reduced course load (exemption from the courses “Prerequisites in Educational Engineering,” “Prerequisites in Educational Sciences,” and “Practicum Seminar”). 

The course is held over the course of a year, two evenings a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
