The Level 5 TEFL Diploma is regulated by Ofqual and aligned with the European Qualifications Framework, giving students a government-recognised, globally trusted credential that stands out with employers. It offers at least 180–300 hours of advanced training, opening access to better-paid roles abroad and online compared with shorter, non-regulated certificates.
The TEFL Institute provides the accredited curriculum, platform, assessment, and certification, while your school focuses on recruitment, local delivery (if you choose blended), and learner support.

No, your school delivers the programme using The TEFL Institute’s Ofqual-regulated, Highfield-awarded qualification and quality-assured curriculum. This means you leverage existing government regulation and external quality checks without going through a separate accreditation process yourself.
Yes, many partners embed the Level 5 TEFL Diploma alongside their current language courses, transition-year programmes, or internal teacher training tracks. You can offer it as a standalone premium programme, an add-on certification, or part of a blended route combining online study with your in-house workshops and practicum.
Partners receive ongoing access to academic support, quality assurance, and a dedicated team that helps with implementation, reporting, and refinement of the offer. You also benefit from shared marketing campaigns, digital assets, and the reputation of being linked to a globally recognised TEFL brand with government-regulated courses.
