Do vocational school teachers need teacher qualification certificates?

Teachers in vocational schools need to take the teacher qualification examination.

Any teacher engaged in the teaching profession, whether it is a junior college or a secondary vocational school, must hold a teacher qualification certificate. However, some schools pass the exam after organizing their posts, and some require to submit materials when participating in teaching recruitment.

But relatively speaking, the requirements of vocational school teachers are not very high, and the test is simpler than that of in-service teachers in culture class. Only two courses, comprehensive quality and educational knowledge and ability, are needed, and cultural courses are no longer needed.

Being a teacher in a vocational school requires a high school teacher qualification certificate or a secondary vocational school teacher qualification certificate. Vocational school teacher qualification certificate is divided into secondary vocational education teacher qualification certificate, secondary vocational professional teacher qualification certificate and secondary vocational practice guidance teacher qualification certificate.

The qualification examination for cultural teachers in vocational schools, like the qualification examination for senior high school teachers, requires comprehensive quality, educational knowledge and ability, and subject knowledge and educational ability. However, there are usually only two classes before the exam, and the subject knowledge and educational ability are usually integrated into the interview for assessment.

However, due to the large number of vocational schools and the lack of teachers, vocational schools generally relax the restrictions on teachers' academic qualifications for the recruitment of teachers. Therefore, some provinces can recruit teachers without the restriction of qualification certificate when recruiting teachers of related majors, but they must obtain the corresponding teacher qualification certificate within one year.
