To put it bluntly, if you teach painting, you must graduate from an art-related major and at least have a college diploma. However, there is also a situation in which some local education departments require managers of children's art training courses to have relevant professional qualifications (have held training courses), require a bachelor's degree or above, and of course need a teacher qualification certificate. In addition, there are requirements for credits and nationality. Different regions have different requirements for the establishment of off-campus training institutions. You should consult relevant local policies. But in fact, it will be safer to take the teacher qualification certificate, because more and more people in today's society demand academic qualifications. Just because your institution doesn't need a teacher qualification certificate now doesn't mean it won't be needed in the future. It will be safer to take one. Moreover, there are a wide range of teaching resources for the examination now, and non-normal majors can also apply for the examination, and the pass rate is also very high. Of course, if you don't want to take the exam, you can.
