Recognition

  • Recognition of foreign teacher training degrees

You should first contact the Ministry of School and Vocational Education (Behörde für Schule und Berufsbildung, BSB) to determine, if your professional qualifications are adequate to work in a German school.

  • Adaptation course for teachers from other countries
    If you have completed a teacher training degree in your home country, the Ministry of School and Vocational Education (Behörde für Schule und Berufsbildung, BSB) offers an adaptation course for teachers from other countries. The adaptation course is designed to enable trained teachers to acquire any missing educational components needed to teach at a school in Hamburg or elsewhere in Germany.
