The certificates are again classified into grades depending upon the type of teaching an individual will follow. 

Few types of teaching certificates are middle grades teaching, early childhood and elementary. Any of these certificates can be taken by anyone after qualifying the criteria laid upon by the respective education department of a government.

A teaching certificate is simply a type of acknowledgement certificate from the university or a college from where one has finished, successfully, his specific subject which is professionally important. 

National Teaching Certificates:

This exam will show how suitable an individual is for teaching a specific subject. For teaching in an usual elementary school let's say that a national teaching certificate may be granted to an individual. One who only teaches math as a specific subject to students in middle school, the certificate may also be granted. Many colleges and universities hire teachers with national teaching certificate and pay higher salaries than normal teachers who do not possess this certificate. To satisfy as a teacher the two major criteria's are, they must have bachelor's degree in his state from a college or university which is accredited and he must pass an exam licensed by the state. From each state, there may be different other certificates which may vary. The age of a student or the subjects which he or she is going to teach are the ones, which they depend upon. 

Some states issues alternate teaching certificates. These states see how much life experience does an individual have in a particular subject. For more information on teaching certificate one can enter into websites put up by the education division of each state in US.
