This question is too broad. Let me tell you this, if you want to be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, you must have the International Chinese Teacher Qualification Certificate. However, having the International Chinese Teacher Qualification Certificate does not necessarily mean that you are a good teacher, because there are currently many qualified teachers of Chinese as a Foreign Language on the market. There are several types of certificates, many of which have poor basic recognition. The more recognized certificates are Hanban’s certificates and IMCPI. Hanban’s International Chinese Teacher Qualification Certificate is issued domestically and is mainly for those in the Confucius Institute Volunteer Program. If you obtain the Hanban certificate, you can apply for overseas Confucius Institute Volunteers ( (without salary), that is helpful, but it is more difficult to apply for Confucius Institute volunteers. The requirement is to graduate with a major in Chinese language, be a working teacher or a student, which is not suitable for people in the society. If you do not go to the Confucius Institute, this certificate Foreigners are not recognized, and the certificate will mainly contain Chinese characters. IMCPI is the English abbreviation of International Mandarin Chinese Promotion Institute. It was founded in the United States and is a well-known international Chinese teacher certification brand in the industry. It focuses on the research and development of international Chinese teaching methods and professional teaching materials. At the same time, IMCPI is also the first international certification organization in the world to formulate and publish the "International Code of Professional Ethics for Chinese Teachers". In the industry, currently only IMCPI has six patented teaching methods. In addition, Edexcel, a subsidiary of the famous British Pearson Group, officially announced that IMCPI will be its only international Chinese teacher standard provider in the world. The IMCPI Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language Qualification Certificate has relatively high international authority, recognition, and applicability.
