Course options explained

With so much choice and such a vast amount of conflicting information available on the Internet it can be difficult for potential TEFL course students to make the correct choice. Employers offering the best opportunities with the most competitive packages are now asking for level 5 TEFL qualifications. Our course leads to a Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168 hours), which is regulated by Ofqual (UK government) and DEAC-Approved (US Department of Education National Accreditor).

A regulated level 5 qualification means that Ofqual (UK government), have approved the qualification to be at a recognised level of achievement. Our Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168hrs) is the same level as the following qualifications: a diploma of higher education (DipHE), a foundation degree and the CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL qualifications.

You will see many TEFL courses available that are at levels lower than level 5, although these may be accepted by some recruiters, students wishing to gain access to top employers with the best jobs and working conditions should complete a level 5 TEFL qualification. 

All regulated level 5 courses are 150hrs+ in length. We have never seen a single employer ask for more than 168hrs of TEFL training.

Accreditation FAQ

Is the course accredited?

Our course is regulated by Ofqual (UK government department) and awarded by Qualifi, a UK government recognised awarding body. Our Level 5 TEFL Course is DEAC-approved as meeting the criteria for Approved Quality Curriculum (AQC) status. The DEAC is a U.S. Department of Education National Accreditor.

Who are Qualifi?

The TEFL Academy is fully accredited by Qualifi an Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, a UK government department) regulated awarding body. Qualifi have robust quality assurance systems and procedures in place which all course providers must successfully pass in order to be accredited under the scheme.

Potential TEFL course students should remember that their prospective employers are likely to be based outside South Africa. This means that accreditation bodies based solely in South Africa may not be recognised by employers abroad. This is why The TEFL Academy has chosen Qualifi, as they offer international accreditation for training course providers.

You can find out more about Qualifi on their website: https://qualifi.net

Who are Ofqual?

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England and vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland.

Ofqual is a non-ministerial UK government department.

You can verify our qualification on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications here.

Ofqual recognise Awarding Organisations like Qualifi and regulate qualifications like ours. An Ofqual regulated TEFL qualification will be recognised worldwide and is highly respected by employers.

Who are the DEAC?

The Distance Education Accrediting Commission was founded in 1926 and is a U.S. Department of Education National Accreditor. DEAC's goal is to ensure a high standard of educational quality in the distance education institutions it approves by requiring compliance with its published standards, policies and procedures.

Our Level 5 TEFL Course is DEAC-approved as meeting the criteria for Approved Quality Curriculum (AQC) status.

You can find out more about the DEAC on their website: https://www.deac.org/

What is a level 5 qualification?

When you hear about “levels” this refers to the UK government’s framework for qualifications. This framework allows learners studying UK government regulated qualifications to understand where their qualification sits in comparison to other qualifications. A regulated level 5 qualification means that Ofqual (UK government), have approved the qualification to be at a recognised level of achievement. Our Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168hrs) is the same level as the following qualifications: a diploma of higher education (DipHE), a foundation degree and the CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL qualifications.

What does "regulated" mean?

A regulated qualification means that it is officially recognised by government and sits on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. You can view our qualification on the Ofqual register here.

What benefits does studying a regulated qualification offer learners?

Choosing to study a regulated qualification is your guarantee of quality. Course providers offering regulated qualifications must comply with very tough quality assurance rules and procedures. This ensures that:

  • The staff delivering and assisting students are suitably qualified
  • The course provider has the resources to effectively deliver the qualification
  • The course itself effectively teaches and assesses the qualifications aims
  • The contents of the course have been written and designed by industry professionals and peer reviewed
  • The feedback and grades given to learners is fair, moderated and meets modern academic standards
  • Officially regulated by the UK government, therefore the qualification will be internationally recognised by schools, employers, foreign embassies and governments of most other countries.

How do I know if a qualification is regulated?

Any qualification that is officially recognised by the UK government will sit on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. Make sure to ask your course provider to provide a link to the register for their qualification.

You can view our qualification on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications here.

Why do other providers offer so many course options and different levels?

The simple answer is, we just don't know! Recruiters offering the best opportunities with the most competitive packages are now asking for level 5 TEFL qualifications. All regulated level 5 courses are 150hrs+ in length. We have never seen a single employer ask for more than 168hrs of TEFL training. 

We know that navigating your way through the TEFL web of courses is very confusing. This is why we offer just one course, exactly what you need to get the best jobs around the world!

What's the difference between TEFL and TESOL?

TEFL and TESOL are both acronyms for teaching English to non-native English speakers. Both acronyms can be used to describe qualifications which certify you to teach English as a foreign language. To a large extent, "TEFL" and "TESOL" are used interchangeably.

  • TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language
  • TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

Are cheap TEFL courses on daily deal websites like Groupon and Amazon too good to be true?

Offering a high quality TEFL course that provides students with qualified tutors and leads to a government regulated qualification doesn't come cheap! Course providers selling on daily deal websites must heavily discount their course fees and then split what they make 50/50 with the deal portal such as Groupon, Wowcher & Amazon.

With such small revenues it’s impossible for TEFL course providers selling on daily deal websites to:

  • Offer on-going support from experienced & qualified tutors
  • Have fair & moderated marking/grading systems
  • Develop and continually update quality course content & resources
  • Offer a course that leads to a government regulated qualification
  • Offer job support and on-going assistance after course completion

TEFL courses sold on daily deal websites are unregulated, unaccredited, lack academic credibility and will not be respected by employers.

Read our blog 'Are cheap TEFL courses too good to be true?'

Is a level 5 course always a level 5 course?

You may see cheap TEFL courses advertised online that claim to be a “level”, such as “Level 5 140-Hour TEFL Course” (often advertised on daily deal websites), unfortunately these courses are not the level they claim to be and are highly misleading.

The level of a course tells learners where the qualification sits on the UK’s Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF).  If a course is not listed on the Register of Regulated Qualifications, then it is not really a level at all. You can find our qualification on the register here.

Make sure you ask any TEFL training provider that claims to be offering a “level” of TEFL course to provide a link to the Register of Regulated Qualifications. If they cannot provide this, then the qualification is not the level they claim it to be and will not be accepted by foreign embassies and employers.

Jordan

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

    A. I gave this score as Bee the instructor was truly amazing at what she does. Every question was answered, everything was well explained and I feel way more confident going overseas and having a proper idea of what is expected. I truly had a lot of fun and walked away happy and 100% satisfied.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. She was a joy to work with and had a smile on her face all 2 days. She explained everything thoroughly and gave everybody a chance. The feedback she gave was always on point and from going in there with not knowing a lot, walking out - I feel super satisfied and confident walking into a job overseas. She had an answer for everything we asked which was amazing!

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. Baphiwe gave us continuous and helpful tutoring the whole way through, imparting us with her experiences and understanding that guided us in improving ourselves.

Jordan

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

    A. Everything was pulled together in the course, it just made everything from the online aspect of the course fall into place and become concrete in the mind, there is only so much a computer screen can do in terms of getting the information across to the student but the classroom practical was the missing piece that brought it all together for me, gave me greater insight into what being an EFL teacher would do.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. Honestly such a cool teacher, she had us focused yet entertained all day long, her energy was contagious and she made English fun, any questions we had, she gave a well worded answer that brought closure and always gave constructive feedback in terms of our performance on tasks. Highly recommend her for other courses in the future yet to come.

Ashika

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

    A. I am a shy person by nature and as a shy person the one thing we dread the most is the ice breaker. The ice breaker for the class was a total different method than the ones I have usually had to endure. It was fun and it broke the ice completely with no hesitations or fears. Thereafter being in the class was awesome with awesome people and an awesome teacher. Baphiwe made the class fun, easy to understand and she was very helpful. She made wanting to be a teacher so cool. I really learnt so much from just 2 days. I came out of my "shell" so to speak and I absolutely loved it. I have already recommended The TEFL Academy to so many people. Thank you guys!!!

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. Baphiwe was very polite and professional. She was informative, she was always helpful no matter how many times we asked the same question if we did not understand anything. She made wanting to teach fun.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

    A. Was really not looking forward to spending a whole weekend on this, but it went so quickly and was so, so worthwhile. Our instructor, Bee, was incredible and made it all a lot of fun. The topics covered were relevant and will definitely help going forward. It was great also to meet others doing the course and hear how they were coping and hear their understanding of the assignments.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. Bee was INCREDIBLE! She made the topics fun and had such a great presence and humour. She was in control without seeming like we were being disciplined, and found the perfect balance of letting us enjoy ourselves while not wasting time and knowing when we needed to focus. Her advice and insights into hands on English teaching were great.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. He was highly knowledgeable and entertaining, he wanted everyone to engage and just feel comfortable as well as understand what he was explaining or demonstrating. One of the best teachers I’ve ever encountered!

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

    A. I'm an extremely introverted person and being given the chance to interact and not be judged was an experience I'll never forget. Also the amount of knowledge I gained from the 2 day class was immense and will be sure to use what I've learnt in the near future.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with the course?

    A. I particularly enjoyed the Teacher (Tanya) and the group that I was with. The weekend was a very helpful way of reinforcing what I already knew and what I would still learn. The demonstrations given by Tanya were very practical and useful for further reference and the advice she was able to offer on interview questions (etc) was very helpful.

  • Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

    A. Brendon used his extensive skills and experience to model how a TEFL teacher should teach, as well as enabling us to learn the maximum amount in the time we had in the classroom
