This person was a teacher of Japanese, but she is not anymore.
She has a certification to teach Japanese, which does not expire.
In this case,
1. She used to be a certified teacher of Japanese.
2. She was a certified teacher of Japanese.
I'm not sure about two things.
One is if I should use "used to" or "was".
The other is if these sentences mean she doesn't have the certification anymore. (I'm looking for a way to say she doesn't teach anymore, but she still has the certificate, in one sentence.)
