Du ansöker om examensbevis via Ladok och lärarlegitimationen hos Skolverket. Du blir behörig att undervisa i de ämnen och årskurser som anges på ditt examensbevis men kan av Skolverket få utökad behörighet om du läst ytterligare ämnen.

Information till dig som har läst kompletterande pedagogisk utbildning (gu.se)

Studievägledning för lärarutbildning (gu.se)

Om du har kompletterat dina studier med ytterligare undervisningsämnen och behöver utöka din lärarlegitimation med fler behörigheter så ansöker du om detta hos Skolverket. Du ansöker inte om ett nytt examensbevis.

Din ämneslärarexamen från KPU kommer att ange undervisningsämne och årskurser och du blir behörig att undervisa i de ämnen och årskurser som finns i din examen. Genom din lärarlegitimation kan du dock få behörighet att undervisa inom andra verksamhetsområden än åk 7-9 eller gymnasieskolan.
