  • Complete your education degree, including student teaching
  • Take licensing exams for your selected content area(s)
  • Take a pedagogy test in the developmental area and your license
  • Earn your CPR/AED/Heimlich certification
  • Complete Suicide Prevention Training

When you have met all of the above requirements, you are ready to submit your online application to the State of Indiana.

  1. Log on to the Indiana LVIS (Licensing Verification and Information System) and create an individual profile
  2. Upload your CPR/AED/Heimlich certification
  3. Upload proof of Suicide Prevention Training

After submitting your application, the state of Indiana will contact Manchester University to verify you have completed your teacher education program and confirm your licensing exam test scores. When your license is approved, you will receive email confirmation, along with your license number, from the state of Indiana. 

NOTE: You can begin looking for a teaching position before you receive your license, but you will need a license number before you accept a position.
