TQUK certificates are widely respected across the Commonwealth of Nations and recognized in more than 160 countries worldwide, including by many of the world’s top 500 companies. With its strong international reputation, TQUK has established collaboration centers, partnerships with universities, professional societies, and training institutions in over 50 countries, issuing more than 100,000 certificates annually from its headquarters in Manchester, UK.

Each certificate issued by TQUK carries a unique serial number, which can be used to verify its authenticity on the official TQUK website. Courses from the International Han Institute are also listed on the TQUK website. As an awarding organization regulated by Ofqual, TQUK applies rigorous standards in evaluating both its centers and learners. Holding a TQUK-recognized qualification represents professional growth for individuals and provides employers with confidence in a candidate’s abilities.

In recognition of its excellence, TQUK was shortlisted for the “Awarding Organisation of the Year” at the 2017 Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) Awards, further demonstrating its growing influence in the field. For professionals in Chinese language teaching, a TQUK qualification serves as a valuable credential for entering the education markets of the UK, the EU, and other countries.

The International Han Institute received the TQUK Education Innovation Award in both 2018 and 2022, highlighting its leadership in Chinese language education. Certificates issued by the Institute represent not only subject knowledge but also practical expertise in curriculum design, course planning, and textbook development, making it a leading recognized authority in the field of Chinese language teaching.
