120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course

The courses that we offer are broken up into ten different modules. Each module is a mixture of different materials designed to help you learn in the right way. You can choose between audio, video and written content for each of your modules. You will be given an education in the fundamentals of teaching, learning how to structure a lesson, teach grammar to your students, and have fluent conversations while encouraging students to improve.

We find that the average completion time for the qualification is four weeks of study. However, we recognise that not all of our students will have four solid weeks to dedicate to their studies, which is why you have a six-month deadline to complete the course. We prefer that you take the time to fully absorb the information being provided to you instead of rushing through the course to complete it as quickly as you can.

Highfields Qualifications

Our level 5 TEFL qualification has been accredited by Highfield. This is a group who work in the UK, and are closely associated with UK regulator Ofqual. When they provide accreditation to a course, it is a noteworthy seal of approval and something which a lot of companies work for years to attain.

We have worked very hard to gain accreditation status, and we are thrilled that we have been recognised as a worthy provider. We have to maintain high standards throughout the year in order to maintain our accreditation, and we are assessed on a regular basis. However, the qualifications that we have, which are verified, can be used all over the world, so it was well worth doing. 

ODLQC:

The Open and Distance Learning Quality Council has been operating since 1969 and is based in America. The group works to provide accreditation and monitoring for distance learning providers like us. They have created a set of proprietary criteria that they use to judge businesses, and these criteria are refined over the years and regularly reviewed to make sure that they are current and suitable. Anybody who has been accredited by this provider is going to have had to have worked very hard in order to get their approval.

The Vital Consular: 

This accreditation is not like other accreditations. It’s not technically an accreditation scheme so much as a seal of approval. Let us explain.

As you are aware, we are a fully verified UK TEFL provider. We have worked very hard to maintain this reputation. If you have one of our qualifications, you can take it anywhere in the world and use it to apply for a job or a work permit. This means that there are no real limits with regard to what you can do as a new teacher. This specific verification seal means that we have the UK Government providing authentication for all the qualifications we offer.

This is important because if you try to get a job in a place like China or Taiwan, you will have to provide authenticated, recognised qualifications as part of your application for a work permit. If your application doesn’t contain verified qualifications, you may be asked to acquire a qualification which is recognised that will delay your teaching career by a few years in the worst cases. Obviously, the UK Government is a recognised authority around the world, so having their sea of approval means that you can get straight to teaching.
