Deciding if a graduate teaching certificate is worth it depends on your goals. A graduate teaching certificate involves taking short, supplemental courses of study through colleges/universities that meet the fundamental needs of teaching professionals.  Obtaining a graduate teaching certificate may give you a competitive edge in the teaching profession and possibly help you advance your career in lieu of committing the time to graduate school. A certificate may also provide you with skills to help you create and apply engaging learning in online or in-person classrooms.
