First, the existence time of certificates is different.
Hanban's qualification certificate for teaching Chinese as a foreign language began in 2006 and was suspended for 8 years. 20 15 hanban's international Chinese teacher certificate has just resumed its examination and has been recognized by colleges and universities, but it will take some time to popularize it.
During the suspension of the examination, the appearance of IPA and other certificates has played a certain insulating role in the whole Chinese as a foreign language industry, making it clear that this profession has professional standards. Hanban has never denied the authenticity of such certificates. IPA certificate has existed for so many years, and its effectiveness and influence continue.
In addition, regarding the time of use, Hanban's international Chinese certificate is time-sensitive and valid for three years; PA International Chinese Certificate is valid for life.
Second, the validity period of the certificate is different.
IPA and other certificates are indeed important standards for some domestic and foreign language institutions and schools to employ Chinese teachers during the suspension of Hanban examinations. At present, the main thresholds for positions in the international Chinese teaching industry are academic qualifications and experience and skills.
Hanban international Chinese teacher certificate is the reference standard for Hanban system to select expatriate teachers and volunteers. At present, under the same conditions, priority is given to volunteers with international Chinese teacher certificates, and foreign teachers need to hold certificates.
Third, the applicable population is different.
Applicable people mainly mean that different applicants have different application conditions.
The application conditions for the certificate of international Chinese teacher are as follows:
(1) Abide by the law and love international Chinese education.
(2) Master a foreign language.
(3) Qualified written test personnel and interviewers must have a nationally recognized undergraduate degree before they can apply for a certificate.
Therefore, most of the candidates are undergraduates and above, majoring in Chinese as a foreign language or language-related majors, and most of them are students.
The entry requirements for IPA international registered Chinese teacher qualification certification are as follows:
College degree or above, sophomore year or above (majors are not limited), high school graduates or senior three students who are preparing to study abroad can apply for the exam.
College degree or above can apply for IPA certificate, and the range of applicants will be wider. Therefore, people who are not majoring in Chinese as a foreign language and graduated from society apply for more.
Fourth, the employment channels are different.
Hanban: Graduates with bachelor degree or above, graduate students, in-service teachers and returned volunteers all have the opportunity to participate in overseas Chinese programs. With Hanban's international Chinese teacher certificate, you can participate in the selection project of Chinese teacher volunteers in Confucius Institute, which is an important criterion for Hanban to select talents.
IPA: Committed to the training, storage and export of international Chinese teachers. Entrusted by many overseas universities and language training institutions, we recruit overseas international Chinese teachers in China. Provide the best quality employment consulting service and dispatch service for international Chinese teachers who are interested in developing at home and abroad.
Fifth, the test difficulty is different.
For the certificate of Hanban, there are many professionals who apply for it, and the competition is fierce. And it is difficult to apply for a certificate with a bachelor's degree or above.
IPA certificate is easier than Hanban certificate.
