Prospective Uruguayan teachers are required to complete one of several programs of study to receive their teaching credentials. To teach at the primary level, it is necessary to complete a three to four-year course of study, offered at an institute, leading to the title, Maestro de Educacion. Secondary teachers are trained at a separate institute specifically for secondary teachers. This training program lasts four years. University instructors complete their studies at the Instituto Superior de Docentes.
