I want to be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language. What certificate should I take?

There are many certificates, and their authenticity and value can be verified by themselves. Baidu will tell you, and Google will tell you too much.

One looks at the issuer. According to the online search results and relevant laws and regulations, China only has teacher qualification certificate, but there is no foreign teacher qualification certificate. The only official Hanban certificate has also been suspended, probably because it conflicts with the current teacher law. Therefore, the current "foreign teacher qualification certificate" is issued by non-governmental organizations.

Not that NGOs are unreliable. The SAT and ACT exams in the United States are non-governmental commercial organizations, but if they are non-governmental certification institutions with a short history in China, it is necessary to identify their value. The lessons of the National Dental Prevention and Treatment Team are vivid. For example, some institutions claim that they are recognized by many countries and institutions in the world, so check on Google a little to see if there are any reports and references about this "international institution" on the websites of these countries and institutions. Use Whois.net tools to find out who their international domain owners are, or whether they are hidden, and so on.

If you want to enter a regular school within the system, whether at home or abroad, you must first have a local teacher qualification certificate. For example, you don't have any "international certificate" to teach in primary and secondary schools in the United States, but you must have a teacher qualification certificate in that state or an agreed state.

See below for the qualification certificate of training and recruiting Michigan teachers from Confucius Institute and Education College of Michigan State University.
