Getting a buxiban license for my home?

[fareastern]

If I wanted to each small classes in my home completely legally, I understand that I need a buxiban license. How easy is it to get such a license and what is the process? I know that I would more than likely get away without a license, but that’s not what this post it about.

Do I need to own my home or is rented okay?

If rented do I need permission from my landlord?

Are any educational credentials needed?

Do buxiban licenses expire?

I doubt very much that your home could pass all of the regulations to become a legal buxiban. The main problems that I can think of would be the hallway width problem, class size requirement, and the fire exit problem. If everything was up to code in your home you would still need close to 1 million ntd to get your buxiban licensed. You do not need to own your home but you are required to have two years on your lease at the time of applying for the license. Where are you in NTC?

You’re permitted to teach a limited number of students without a license, aren’t you?

[Pinoco]

Four or five students does not require a license.

@Pinoco

Four or five students does not require a license.

Total or in any one class?

[mokkie]

Tutoring doesn’t require a licence.

[tando]

In New Taipei, I believe more that 4 students in total should be registered.

@mokkie

Tutoring doesn’t require a licence.

if it is not publicly promoted, and not at a fixed place, or not more that 4 students.

What is the penalty for breaking this law?

Is it criminal or administrative?

*BUSTED* My little school is in peril!

On Monday this week our little school was paid a visit by the NTC ministry of education. It was just one lady and she was pretty nice about the whole situation. She came in and took some pictures. Afterward she took our information and told us that she would need to make sure we had the appropriate license to run a school. Unfortunately, I’m in some big trouble now. I started this school a couple years ago without a clear vision of the future. I knew that I wanted to teach preschool-aged k…

Legality of Private Tutoring (in your apartment)

Hello All! I have been tutoring about 9 different students ranging in age from super young (less than 2 yrs. old) to junior high school students for a few years now. During this time, I’ve traveled to their homes to teach them. I find this super tiring and not at all cost or time efficient. I’d like to open my own “classroom” (“家教班”, right?) by renting an apartment (separate from where I live now) which would just serve as a place to house my private lessons. So, basically, I would be doin…

I also recall that a poster who used to go by the name @Taiwan_Student actually went through all the pain and suffering involved with getting his home teaching class set up. If I remember correctly, he indicated that all the steps required to creating a 100% legal home teaching situation wasn’t worth it in the end. He no longer posts under the name Taiwan_Student, and I don’t know his new handle, but he’d definitely be the one to talk to regarding this type of home “buxiban”.
