Accreditation

One of the most important steps you should take before enrolling in a TEFL course, is to verify whether the school or institution is accredited by an external accrediting body.

So, what is accreditation and why is it important? Accreditation is a voluntary and rigorous, objective and independent appraisal of the overall educational quality. This is important as it helps determine whether an institution meets minimum standards. Furthermore, it helps employers determine whether a programme is valid and if graduates are qualified. We are accredited by the International TEFL Accreditation Council (ITEFLAC).
