Can you use this certificate to renew a teaching certificate?

I have a current teaching license in the US and am looking at this program because our district has a high ESL population. Can you use this to renew a teaching license or get college credits for it?

The TESOL certification is like adding a license of an additional skill. The Department of Education in each state would not likely take it in place of your state license because they have specific requirements UNI-prep couldn't possibly be aware of. Most states require teachers to undergo continued education in addition to license renewal and it may qualify for that. A query to your administration or the Dept. of Education would give you a clear answer there, though.
I’m not sure about renewing a previous teacher certificate. It will depend on the laws of the country you are. I’m sure that having this certificate will be great for your career.
Holding the TESOL 120-Hour you can teach everywhere.(Countries and Institutions)
