This only counts the hours that a counselor sits with a student and nothing more.

  5. The state also requires at least one year training under the supervision of a license school counselor or at least two years of teaching experience under a provisional, standard or professional teaching certificate or license. If you are a practicing schoolcounselor from another state, Ohio regulation requires that you should be practicing for at least three years prior to being allowed to continue your profession within the state jurisdiction.

If you find that you don’t fall under any of the aforementioned criteria then you might be required to take the necessary examination, either the National Teachers Examination (NTE) or Praxis II, to qualify for an Ohio counseling license. The test that will given to the applicant will depend on the program that he or she completed.

  7. The state also requires background check and a recommendation from the dean of education or the head of the institution’s counseling program prior to being granted a certification to practice.
