The growing demand for English language learning has resulted in a surge of TEFL certification providers. Given the somewhat lax regulation within the TEFL industry, potential candidates must exercise due diligence when selecting a provider. Fortunately, there are measures you can take to verify a program's legitimacy, with the initial focus being on independent accreditation. TEFL courses accredited by a third-party institution denote their academic standards have been comprehensively assessed and endorsed.

How can I check that TEFL courses are accredited?
Before choosing a TEFL course, it is advisable to thoroughly investigate the provider's legitimacy. Start with their website, looking for official accreditation badges and pages dedicated to program validation. Reputable TEFL organizations typically prominently display their third-party accreditations. However, beware that some unscrupulous businesses might establish their own unrecognized accrediting bodies, potentially compromising the value of their certificates.
An additional method to ascertain a TEFL course's authenticity is to explore feedback from previous students. Social media, teaching forums, and blogs often contain ample information, as course participants are keen to share their experiences. If the course is accredited and feedback is predominantly positive, you can expect a high standard of training, paving the way for your teaching career.
