Note: Independent short-term certificate programs are different from most academic plans because they typically do not grant degrees, but instead award certificates to those students who complete the educational goals per the program guidelines. Completing a short-term TESL/TEFL certificate is not the same as teacher certification; that credentialing process is more in-depth and meets the qualifications to teach in settings like public schools in the United States.
