The Certificate for Practising Teachers (CertPT)

The Trinity CertPT is an innovative new Level 6* qualification for practising teachers that offers:

Trinity-certified professional development

Development of context-specific pedagogical skills

Face-to-face, online or blended study

Bilingual training and assessment options

As the CertPT assesses pedagogical skills rather language ability, teachers have the option, depending on course provider arrangements, of submitting written assignments for assessment solely in English, or bilingually in English and Spanish or English and Mandarin Chinese**

DigiLocker is now integrated to Passport Services

 Minister of State for External Affairs Shri V. Muraleedharan today

launched a new scheme by which an applicant can leverage the DigiLocker

platform of Government of India while applying for passport related services

from anywhere in India. With the launch of this new scheme, applicants

applying for passport services can provide link to their specific documents

uploaded in the DigiLocker. This would enable citizens to submit various

documents required for Passport Services through DigiLocker in a paperless

mode. They are not required to carry the original documents. DigiLocker is a

key initiative under Digital India, a flagship program aimed at transforming

India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. DigiLocker

provides citizens a sharable private space on a public cloud enabling

availability of all documents/certificates provided on this cloud. Targeted at

paperless governance, DigiLocker is a platform for issuance and verification of

documents/ certificates in a digital way, thus eliminating the use of physical

documents. Further, once passports are also uploaded in DigiLocker, details

would be easily accessible to authorized users from any location, which would

be useful especially in case of loss of passport.
