How to get your TSC certificate.
In a significant stride towards modernization, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revamped its services by introducing digital teacher registration certificates.
This move streamlines the process for teachers, offering a seamless way to obtain and showcase their TSC Registration Certificates.
In this guide, we break down the steps to download the TSC certificate online, ensuring a hassle-free experience for educators.
The Digital Transformation Process
When applying for registration with TSC, teachers will be required to provide a valid email address.
TSC will use the provided email address to send the certificate of registration in softcopy (digital format).
To verify the authenticity of the applicant, a One Time Pin (OTP) verification code will be sent to the applicant’s phone.
The applicant needs to enter this code to complete the verification process.
It’s crucial to provide a valid email address that you can access at any time, as you may face problems if you provide an email address that you cannot access.
Once the registration is successful, the digitized certificate of registration will be emailed to the provided email address.
How To Get TSC Certificate Hard Copy
Teachers can then download the emailed certificate of registration and print it as a hard copy to serve as evidence of their registration with TSC.
Email Registration
Teachers initiating the registration process with the TSC are required to provide a valid email address during the application.
This email becomes the conduit for the digital certificate delivery.
OTP Verification
To fortify security measures, a One Time Pin (OTP) verification code is dispatched to the teacher’s phone.
This code acts as a confirmation of the teacher’s identity, and entering it completes the verification process.
Certificate Delivery
Upon successful processing of the registration, the teacher will receive a digitized certificate via the provided email address.
To acquire a physical copy, teachers can simply download the certificate and print it for tangible proof of their registration with the TSC.
Note: Ensuring the provision of a valid and accessible email address is crucial to avoid complications in accessing the certificate later.
