Teacher's license

In Iceland, the law defines the right to call oneself a teacher and work as one. To confirm this right and hold the professional title of teacher, a certificate is available with an electronic ID card.

A single certificate is now issued by The Ministry of Education and Children for all levels of schooling, including pre-school, primary, and secondary schools. For those interested in applying for a teaching license, an application is available in Icelandic.
