Why TEFL Accreditation is important
Posted by Kiva Richard - 16:43 on 16 July 2012
When choosing a TEFL course it is important that you make sure that your TEFL provider is properly accredited and that your official TEFL Certificate will be internationally recognised. If you take a TEFL course which isn’t fully accredited this might mean TEFL employers won’t accept your qualification and could stop you from finding a job teaching English abroad. A little research early on can save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run.
Why TEFL Scotland
TEFL Scotland is proud to announce that an official TEFL Scotland course has more accreditations than any other UK TEFL Course provider. This means that when you have completed your TEFL course, you’ll be awarded an internationally recognised official TEFL Certificate that will help 
you find working teaching English as a foreign language all over the world. With that peace of mind you can complete your TEFL studies, knowing that your official TEFL qualification will help you find the very best TEFL teaching positions.
Starting from as little as £169, our accredited TEFL Courses offer quality training, support and post qualification assistance to help you find the best teaching positions abroad. Find out more about
TEFL Scotland’s accreditation.
Check for TEFL Course Accreditation
Make sure the TEFL Course you choose has accreditation from an external or independent body so that you TEFL certificate will be recognised around the world. Watch out for TEFL providers who accredit their own courses and follow up accreditation claims by checking the websites of accreditation to see if they are listed. TEFL Scotland courses are accredited by the ODLQC and TEFL Scotland is also an SQA Approved Centre. All of our courses are also fully accredited by the NCFE.
Qualified and Experienced TEFL Tutors
Our TEFL Courses are run by highly experienced professional TEFL tutors and all of our online courses assign a personal tutor to each student. Some TEFL providers offer completely automated courses which have no access to qualified or experience teachers.
At TEFL Scotland we emphasise great importance on the value of personal TEFL tutors who are there to offer you support and encouragement every step of the way. Our tutors are there to advise you, answer any questions you may have, and mark your work providing constructive feedback, helping you to successful completion of your studies. You can find out more about our excellent TEFL team.
TEFL Job support
It’s our aim to help you fulfil your dream of teaching English abroad. Unlike many TEFL Course providers, TEFL Scotland continues to offer help to our students after they have completed their TEFL course. On completion of your TEFL Course the next steps involve looking for the right TEFL job, making a job application and preparing for a new life teaching English abroad.
Our TEFL Jobs Centre is very popular with our TEFL graduates and is a quick and easy way to search and apply for TEFL jobs. You’ll be given exclusive access to the latest TEFL jobs from all over world, from top schools and institutions who work with us to source the very best TEFL talent.
