The Digital Transformation of TSC Certificates
Gone are the days of waiting for snail mail to deliver your hard-earned teaching certificate.
TSC has embraced digitalization, offering a streamlined approach to obtaining your certificate with just a few clicks.
1. Providing Your Email Address
Upon initiating the registration process with TSC, teachers are now required to provide a valid email address.
This serves as the digital gateway through which your certificate will be delivered.
2. The Softcopy Journey
TSC takes the hassle out of paperwork by sending the certificate of registration directly to your provided email address in a convenient digital format.
3. One Time Pin (OTP) Verification
To ensure the authenticity of the applicant, a One Time Pin (OTP) verification code is sent to the applicant’s phone.
Inputting this code completes the verification process, adding an extra layer of security to the digital certificate delivery.
4. The Importance of a Valid Email Address
Choosing an email address that you can readily access is crucial.
A hiccup may occur if the provided email is inaccessible, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in this step.
5. Emailed Certificate Arrival
Once the registration is successful, the digitized certificate of registration swiftly lands in your inbox, ready to be accessed and utilized.
6. Download and Print for Physical Proof
Teachers can download the emailed certificate and print a hard copy, serving as tangible evidence of their registration with TSC.
