Apply for My First License

In Minnesota, an individual must hold a license to teach in a public school. There are different requirements for licensure depending on license type and which “tiered license” an individual applies for. Use the Tiers Without Fear tool, a simple questionnaire that recommends a licensure pathway based on the information you provide, or see the requirements for each licensure tier in the Tiered Licensure infographic. Use this webpage to determine which license is best for you.
