IATQuO Accreditation

About Our TEFL Program

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) are the same certifications and it's the major qualification required by learning institutions to teach English Abroad.

Our TEFL course meets international standards and follows the British Council criteria with over 120 hours of class time and observed teacher practice.

Our training programs are validated by IATQuO (International Accreditation of TESOL Qualifying Organizations), a non-profit independent accreditation board that moderates and certifies TESOL Courses. External moderation is composed of regular internal reviews of both materials and delivery of services. For more information, contact Chief Moderator, Dr. Alan Moller at admoller@iatquo.org

Dr Moller is a retired British Council Officer, a current full-time Chief Examiner for Trinity College, and a 2003 Chair of Examiners for the London Tests of English. IATQuO is dedicated to providing external accreditation and quality assurance to TEFL teacher training services worldwide.
