The certificate was issued by a legal institution. There are three major institutions, IFBC, ICMA, BTS, and other small institutions generally print their own products with low gold content. If the school gives you double certificates of IFBC and ICMA, it is worth celebrating. These two certificates have high gold content and are recognized by Korean Semi-Permanent Association in Korea and China.
As for finding schools, I suggest you go to these schools for a field trip yourself, and seeing is believing. I hope it will help you and I hope it will be adopted.
