IELTS Educator: Certification for Teachers

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test conducted worldwide to measure proficiency among non-native English speakers. Anyone who doesn’t live and work in a native English-speaking country must prove they are fluent in English to begin a career. Furthermore, this test is employed by universities to gauge the ability of prospective students. A lot of providers use the results that you get from this test to decide whether or not you are accepted into whatever program or job you have applied for. If you can provide exam prep as a TEFL teacher, then you can improve the number of job opportunities available to you and maximise the earning potential you can make from your home in South Africa and worldwide.

The course that we offer teachers both theory and practical components for IELTS exam prep, so you can demonstrate to an employer that you are capable of handling a classroom and preparing them for the exams. You will also be confident in your teaching ability because this will be paired with one of our standard TEFL qualifications.

It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise to know that this qualification opens a lot of doors for any teacher. You could work in South Africa providing this qualification, but you could also take it around the world and explore opportunities in other countries. You could also work online, which would bypass the geographical restrictions of travel, so there are plenty of options to come out of this single course.

Highfields Qualifications

As part of our accreditation process, we work with Highfields. They fully accredited the level 5 180-hour TEFL qualification that we offer. You will usually find that this qualification is run in conjunction with one of our main courses, like the 180-hour diploma.

Thanks to them, we offer a qualification which is recognised in South Africa and the rest of the world. They operate here in the UK with us and work closely with the official regulatory bodies used by the UK government. We understand that probably doesn’t mean a lot to you, so the bottom line is that you can use this qualification anywhere in the world to help you apply for jobs and progress your career. 

The Accreditation Council for Distance Learning

The ACDL is a special body which focuses on accrediting courses from distance learning providers. They maintain high levels of quality decided by a proprietary set of criteria, and they have awarded us with accreditation – a fact we’re very proud of. We have an accreditation number of 2854-2540. You’re welcome to verify this information for yourself via their website.

The Vital Consular:

The Vital Consular is not an accreditation, technically speaking. It is a verification seal, which is different. However, don’t be fooled – the Vital Consular is still important. 

As you may know, here at the TEFL Institute, we’re a verified TEFL provider. This means that any course we offer is recognised around the world and is designed for the purpose of applying for jobs and visas. You can use them in South Africa or abroad – it is up to you. However, thanks to this verification seal specifically, we have our courses authenticated by the UK Government. 

So, if you go to somewhere like Vietnam or China, you’ll be able to get your qualifications authenticated with no problem. This makes getting a job a lot easier because in those types of countries specifically if your qualifications aren’t recognised by a legitimate authority, they won’t be accepted, so you will have to go and get new qualifications.

As a provider recognised worldwide, we have become a known standard for training providers. We are proud of this reputation and the verification that we have been able to attain as a result.

If you start a course with us, you get the full support of our team from the moment you begin learning. We believe in taking care of our students. We recognise that you will often need support and guidance to build the career that you want. Therefore, we support you throughout your course, as well as once you graduate and begin looking for work. We have ongoing relationships with past graduates, which speaks to our commitment to our learners.
