No. CELTA or the Trinity Certificate.
I'm not aware of any exam called 'TESLA'. 'Teaching English as a
Second Language to Adults' is something you might find a course in, but
it's not the name of a recognised certificate. Here's one which
explains some of the terms:

English teaching acronyms are easy to unscramble, as they're all
combinations of
T - teaching
E - English
S - second
L - language
O - other
A - adults
F - foreign

Again, that depends on the context. In some countries -such as Greece
- the governement state you can't each school-age kids, but you might
get a job teaching, say, business people.
