In accordance with the "Agreement on the Mutual Recognition of Teacher Examinations and Teacher Qualifications", the First and Second State Examinations for Teaching Qualifications are recognized within the framework of the types of teaching qualifications specified in the framework agreements (see "Legal bases").

In addition to the "Common Structural Guidelines of the Länder for the Accreditation of Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programmes", the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder has adopted key points for the mutual recognition of Bachelor's and Master's degrees in degree programmes that provide the educational requirements for a teaching profession (see "Legal bases").

The "Ländergemeinsamen inhaltlichen Anforderungen für die Fachwissenschaften und Fachdidaktiken in der Lehrerbildung" (Common content requirements for the subject sciences and subject didactics in teacher training) describe the competencies that must be acquired in the training for the school-specific teaching profession in the respective teaching subject (see "Legal bases").

If a teaching qualification acquired in another state of the Federal Republic of Germany does not correspond to the qualification for a teaching profession within the meaning of the Bavarian Teacher Training Act (BayLBG), the differences in terms of previous education, training and examinations can be compensated for by providing additional services.

Employment as a teacher at private schools or at state schools within the framework of temporary contracts (e.g. as a substitute teacher, team teacher or teacher in bridge classes) is generally also possible without recognition of the teaching degree. In these cases, applicants should contact the school at which they wish to teach directly or the relevant school authority.

Recognition of the teaching qualification does not entitle you to be employed as a state school teacher.

Applicants who are civil servants in another state in the Federal Republic of Germany or who are in a permanent employment relationship require a declaration of release (valid until at least June 30 of this year). Only applicants who will not be in breach of contract with their previous employer if they accept a state offer can be considered.
