This study conducts an in-depth analysis of developing a Professional Certification Module for History Excellent Teachers (HET) in Malaysia. The primary objective of this module is to empower history educators with improved teaching methodologies, eventually aiding their pursuit of the coveted Excellent Teachers title. Additionally, the module endeavours to bridge educational gaps and align with the requirements of the national curriculum. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study relies on semi-structured interviews with HET as key informants. These interviews were conducted both face-to-face and online, with a sample size of 11 HETs hailing from diverse regions in Malaysia. The findings highlight three important elements for the development of this module and outline six essential components to be incorporated within its content. This research underlines the profound importance of the Professional Certification Module for HETs, emphasizing its potential to enhance student performance, stimulate interest in history subjects, and raise the professionalism of history educators, thus contributing to the development of Malaysia's educational landscape.
