  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.
