OUR STANDARDs
We accredit only online TEFL courses. However, we also provide certification services, printing high-quality TEFL certificates with a gold foil embossed seal. Our certificates are produced from 300gsm card and we can even assist you with the design process.
Communicable
Unlike fake accreditors, we actually want to hear from new course providers, and we are happy to point any TEFL students in the right direction of which courses we accredit and any accreditation-related inquiries.
Professional
Our standards keep our affiliated TEFL course providers and their courses to a high standard, but they also ensure that we are likewise kept to the acme of professionalism: aspiration to reality through reflection.
Fixed standards
Without rigid standards applicable to all without exception, accreditation isn't really what it purports to be. We ensure that all courses we accredit meet our strict, objective, and measurable standards.
