First, whether you have the qualifications for running a school. Many people may not know the difference between a training institution and a school. If a school has the qualification to run a school, it is supervised by the Education Bureau, that is, part of the funds are placed in the Education Bureau, unlike training institutions, which will not run away at any time. There is no guarantee for consumers. At present, only the IMCPI training and certification center in China is qualified to run a school, and all others are training institutions.

Second, the time of establishment. Generally speaking, the longer the establishment, the better the qualification, because the market is relatively mature, more resources are accumulated and the recognition is higher.

Third, the authority of the certificate. At present, Hanban's certificate and IMCPI are recognized in the market, and Hanban's international Chinese teacher qualification certificate is issued in China.

Mainly for volunteers of Confucius Institute. It is helpful for foreign Confucius Institute volunteers (unpaid) to apply if they get Hanban certificate, but it is more difficult for Confucius Institute volunteers to apply.

The requirement is to graduate from Chinese language major and become a teacher or a student at school, which is not suitable for the public. If you don't go to the Confucius Institute, this certificate will not be recognized by foreigners. The certificate is mainly written in Chinese.

IMCPI is the English abbreviation of international Chinese Putonghua promotion organization. Founded in the United States, it is a well-known international Chinese teacher certification brand in the industry, focusing on the research and development of international Chinese teaching methods and professional textbooks.

At the same time, IMCPI is also the first international certification organization in the world to formulate and publish the International Professional Ethics Code for Teachers in China. In the industry, IMCPI alone has six patented teaching methods. In addition, Edexcel, a subsidiary of the famous British Pearson Group, officially announced that IMCPI is the only international Chinese teacher standard provider in the world.

IMCPI has high international authority, recognition and applicability.

Fourth, the practicality of the course. Some institutions just give you a link to recording and broadcasting courses, or just pure theoretical teaching. Students have not been in contact with foreigners all the time, and even if they get a certificate, they dare not teach or will not teach. So when you choose, you must have a clear understanding of the course, which is related to whether you can eventually become a qualified and excellent teacher.

Fourth, part-time job opportunities. Many schools will promise 100% employment in the early stage, which requires you to bring your brain. Now, after graduation, the school does not guarantee 100% employment, so listen to this. Institutions need to provide you with fish ponds and teach you fishing skills. Whether you can catch fish depends on your ability.

A good teacher never lacks students. The difference lies in the methods and skills of fishing and the size of fish ponds. Let's go back to the three or four mentioned above. These two points determine how far you can go later, how many times you will contact international students, and whether you have employment guidance training.

5. Market reputation. Market feedback is the best reference. Go and see what the evaluation of the organization is like. If there is no evaluation online, or the evaluation is not good, it will be carefully considered.

Chinese International Education specializes in training Chinese teachers as a foreign language, that is, teachers who teach foreigners (including overseas Chinese) to learn Chinese and China culture.

Of course, knowing Chinese does not mean that you can be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language. To be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, besides having a certain level of English and Putonghua, one must also have a deep understanding and mastery of China culture and teaching skills.

If you want to be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, you must first have a Putonghua certificate, and you must be above Grade 2.

Secondly, having the corresponding knowledge of Chinese can explain the basic rules of Chinese pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, because the target of teaching Chinese as a foreign language teachers is mainly people whose mother tongue is not Chinese.

There is also a certain knowledge and skills of China culture, and language and culture are inseparable.

Learning Chinese is bound to contact with China culture, so teachers should have a comprehensive understanding of China culture.

In fact, many universities in China have set up this major. The well-known universities are as follows.

East China Normal University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Jilin Normal University, Shanghai Normal University, Jinan University and so on.
