Highfields Qualifications

The TEFL Institute’s Level 5 accrediting body is the  (Highfield Qualifications). This qualification is aimed at those with little or no experience teaching English or those with previous experience seeking a recognised qualification to validate their knowledge. This qualification provides learners with a certificate recognised worldwide and can be used to secure teaching positions, visas and other employment related to English language teaching. For a more general overview of the units, we recommend Highfield Level 5 Certificate in Teaching as a Foreign Language (TEFL). To learn more about Ofqual or verify Highfield’s status, visit their website: Ofqual.

The Accreditation Council for Distance Learning:

An is accrediting body specialising in distance learning courses. Their ethos promotes the utmost standard of excellence among providers bearing a seal of approval assures students that ACDL-accredited educational providers offer the best in certified quality standards. The accreditation number is 2854-2540.

The Vital Consular:

What is this verification seal, and why is it different to an accreditation? The TEFL Institute is a verified UK TEFL provider, meaning that you can study any one of our courses with the knowledge that it will be fit for purpose when you need to use it overseas for your new teaching role. The Vital Consular verification scheme ensures that the members are all recognised by the UK Government. All certificates they issue can be used for an overseas work permit; not all TEFL providers meet these requirements!

This is extremely important if you’re travelling to China, Vietnam, Taiwan and other destinations where your documents will need to be legalised for your visa. If your certificate doesn’t get past the first stage of legalisation by the UK Government, you’ll likely have to start a new course, costing you extra time and money before you can even get things moving.

As a globally recognised TEFL provider, our academic team are responsible for developing and delivering a comprehensive range of accredited and government-regulated courses with extensive course material. The TEFL Institute has a reputation within the TEFL industry for its high calibre of training and for producing TEFL teachers of the highest standard. It is ranked as the number #1 training provider by employers worldwide.

  • What is TEFL?

    TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is primarily teaching non-native speakers English without the use of translation. This means you won’t need to know their first language. TEFL teachers will need the knowledge and know-how of the methodologies to teach in this way. This is why teachers will first need to complete a TEFL course and gain the qualification. TEFL is widely used to either teach English online in one-to-one or small group scenarios or to teach English abroad and is sometimes even used as an easier way to travel. 

  • Who can do a TEFL course?

    First and foremost, aspiring TEFL teachers must be outgoing and confident, and not afraid to make themselves look a little silly, especially when teaching children. Expression is a huge part of the methodologies to be able to get your point across. You’ll warm up to this in time, and it all takes practice. 

    We suggest people be at least 17 with a C1 level of English or higher. If you’re not sure, we have a free English test. We also would recommend people who work on their own initiative as it is an online course and you will need to be your own motivation. 

  • What do I need to teach online?

    If you have no experience in teaching online, a good idea is to get some teaching practice in, as they may ask for “experience” hours, which are unpaid. You can alternatively complete our 10-hour Methodologies course, which has a section focused on teaching English online. 

    Most online companies will ask for your TEFL certificate and teaching practice to have accessibility to good WiFi, a laptop or other computer devices, and headphones. Some online companies may ask their teachers also to have a Bachelor’s Degree. This is evident in Chinese online companies, as it is a government regulation (no matter where you live).

  • How are the courses laid out?

    Our courses contain content, videos, podcasts, reflective tasks, and tests. They are online courses and can be completed independently and from home. 

    Our specialist courses are much shorter than the main TEFL qualifications. They are all completed online and in your own time. All tests are done online and corrected instantly. They have course content and tests throughout the course. They can be completed before or after the main TEFL qualification. 

  • Are the courses accredited?

    The TEFL Institute is fully accredited by ACDL. Our 180-hour Level OFQUAL regulates 5 TEFL courses. 

  • Is this course completely online? How flexible is this course?

    All courses are all done online, and no travelling is required for the tests. Except for the 10 hours of Virtual training, you can log on at any time. This is to ensure our TEFL courses can be done while working or for other studies. There is a 6-month deadline for the courses, but you can contact us for extensions.

For a 10-hour course I considered it very insightful. Covered many topics and teaching techniques, with examples and practice. Feedback was given to us so we can be better. I felt really comfortable and Michelle helped us relax. All very clear and practical. Good guidance for the future in this field. Thank you very much.

I recently completed the 180 hour Level 5 course and the 30hour Business English. Both courses are very thorough and supplies you with all you may need to be a TEFL teacher. Help is always only a click away and the chat box was also a tool that I found very useful. I would recommend this course to others. Thank you

I have not had the opportunity to start my program, due to an illness and other situations that I am dealing with in my life. However, I must say that the representatives at the TEFL institute have been very attentive and informative. I received an email stating that I have 30 days left to complete my program and I spoke to Mr. Walter Cullinan about my situation. He listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions, as well as made sure that I understood how the program would be beneficial to me. He was kind enough to leave me a contact number and told me that if I need any additional help or have any more questions that I can contact him. I am so grateful to him. He made my day.

I have recently completed the 180-hour Level 5 Diploma with 10 hour Virtual TEFL course. I highly recommend it to anyone who is about to start their TEFL journey.It has been a great experience. I have gained so much knowledge and information. The structure of the course is perfect, you learn about teaching methodologies, phonology, grammar, lesson planning and so much more.My tutor Michelle Benson, was absolutely brilliant. She was kind, thoughtful and very enthusiastic. The 10 hours virtual course was done over two morning and on the second day we got to be a teacher for 5 minutes. This really showed how careful and structured the lesson plan needs to be, it is important to stick to the level of the students and explain everything clearly, but also use the PPP method. The feedback that I have received from both Michelle and my classmates was very helpful. It has given me a great insight as to what teaching really involves.I am looking forward to taking on some more of the add on courses available, which will broaden my knowledge and help me throughout my teaching career.Once again I would like to thank Michelle, she was absolutely brilliant.If anyone is considering the TEFL course, I would 100% recommend it ! :)
