Hi

Children are taught braille by QTVIs and support workers in school. Adults
are taught be rehab officers or volunteers at local societies. There is no
qualification anywhere that includes how to teach braille, but the book
Sense and Sensitivity by Nigel Berry, available from RNIB is a good start.
The qualifications that do exist are in the braille code, not how to teach
it.

Cheers
Dave
