Teachers of Chinese as a foreign language are divided into two kinds of certificates, one is from the headquarters of Confucius Institute; Certificate issued by Hanban organization examination, hereinafter referred to as "ICA"; Another kind of certificate is a certificate issued by an examination organized by the International Certification Association (hereinafter referred to as "IPA").
