I agree.  In fact, in Arizona, one only needs a bachelor's degree and a
program that is willing to hire you in order to get certification.  The
process goes much faster if one has certification to teach any other subject
or grade level...but that is not a requirement.
As I recall, as of 12 years ago, in New York there was no specific
certification for adult ed.  A certificate in any other field automatically
qualified one to teach adult ed.  I haven't heard of any changes, but then
I've been a few thousand miles away most of that 12 years.

I am not aware of a national certificate. In fact, not all states require a
certificate of any kind.

 To Whom It May Concern, 

Having been a volunteer at the Main Library where I was first introduced to
literacy I am greatly interested in seeing how to get a national certificate
as an Adult Literacy Educator (instructor.)  Could you please direct me to
local colleges (Ohio or distance education options) where I could obtain
this from as I would like this for a career.  (By-the-way, I do have a BA.)
Thanks so much.  Please feel free to contact me: allison2200 at lycos.com 

Sincerely,

Allison Gilman
