A TEFL course is vital to be able to teach English as a foreign language effectively. It teaches you the foundations of teaching English, from grammar to teaching pronunciation to classroom management and assessment. Even if you already have a teaching qualification, a TEFL course is necessary to prepare you for the EFL classroom. Teaching English to students who cannot speak the language is not the same as, say, teaching History to English first-language speakers. There is a different skill set involved, which is where a TEFL course comes in. Besides the fact that a TEFL course will prepare you for the classroom, it shows your potential employer that you are serious about your teaching. In other words, a TEFL qualification is your ticket to a good TEFL job.
Accreditation & Quality Assurance
The TEFL Academy was the world’s first TEFL course provider to receive official recognition from government regulated awarding bodies in both the USA and UK. This means when you graduate you’ll hold a globally recognised Level 3 (120hr) Certificate or Level 5 (168hr) Diploma, meaning you can find work anywhere and apply for jobs immediately.
