Individual Application for a Teaching Licence After Graduation

This page explains how to apply for a teaching licence individually after graduation and notes that eligibility may vary by region and timing.

How to Apply After Graduation

After graduation, you can apply individually for your teaching licence through the board of education in the prefecture where you live. The licence is issued through this application process. For details, applicants must make their own inquiry to the relevant board of education.

Regional Eligibility Restrictions

Depending on the time of application, some regions accept individual applications only from people who have passed a teacher recruitment examination or who already have a school appointment decided. Eligibility for individual application may therefore differ by region and timing.
