The teaching profession in Germany is regulated by the individual federal states. This means that legal stipulations are in place in each respective federal state which set out certain qualifications and requirements for the commencement or exercising of the occupation of teacher.
If you wish to gain access to the teaching profession by using your teaching qualification obtained abroad as the basis for acquiring qualified teacher status in Germany, equivalence between your qualification and a German teaching qualification will need to be ascertained. The relevant assessment procedures are in this case governed by federal state law.
