You don't have to have a teacher qualification certificate to choose an education major, but you can only pass the relevant level. After graduating from normal university, you can get the teacher qualification certificate only if you pass the relevant subjects (pedagogy, educational psychology, Putonghua test and graduation practice) and have no problems in physical examination. One of the above is unqualified, and you may not get the teacher qualification certificate.

In China, the graduates of normal universities must pass the examinations of pedagogy and educational psychology offered by the school in the final exam of the semester, and their scores in the Putonghua exam organized by the whole province must reach the first-class B or above (the Chinese major is the second-class A) in order to receive the teacher qualification certificate when they graduate. Non-teachers and other social workers need to take a series of exams such as social certification exams before they can apply for teacher qualification certificates.

After the reform of teacher qualification examination, the national examination will be implemented, and the content of the examination will increase and the difficulty will increase. Sophomore and junior college students, junior and senior undergraduates can apply for the exam. After the reform, there will be no difference between normal students and non-normal students. If you want to be a teacher, you must take the national examination before you can apply for the teacher qualification certificate.

When I graduated, I had a pre-school education undergraduate diploma and an art undergraduate diploma, but I didn't have a pre-school education undergraduate teacher qualification certificate and an art undergraduate teacher qualification certificate. Teacher qualification certificate is divided into seven grades: infant, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, vocational high school, technical school and university.
