Perhaps the situation is different if you already have some level of teaching certification outside of Japan... If I recall correctly, weren`t you already a teacher before coming to Japan? That may make a difference, as it may just be a matter of adding a few courses on top of what you already have to make you eligible for Japanese certification.
When I was looking into getting certification to either teach kindergarten or elementary school - the classes I would have needed to take all required "university level Japanese"... Defined as JLPT1.
