TEFL/TESOL Accreditation Process
It is our intention to make this process easy to follow and easy to complete.The steps to accreditation are as follows:
1. Ensure you have trawled through the ACCREDITAT Standards on the Standards and Evidence page. Contact us if you have any queries.
2. Contact us. Let us know the type of course for which you are seeking accreditation. We'll reply with a note of our fees structure and other useful information regarding our streamlined accreditation process. The accreditation process can be completed in weeks - not months.
3. If you are happy with the fees structure and wish to proceed, we will send you our Guidelines and Application for Accreditation. You then return the completed Application Form to us together with the Initial Accreditation Fee payment paid by bank transfer to our company account with the Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. We will forward our bank account details when you decide to proceed.
4. After sending the completed Application Form and Initial Accreditation Fee, you then need to complete our Standards and Evidence Form which we'll email to you. You return this to us with your evidence, which includes access for us to a copy of your course(s). The accreditation-related questions on this document will mirror the ACCREDITAT Standards and you will be asked to provide your evidence against each Standard. There may be some Standards for which you cannot provide evidence – this may be as a result of the type of course or method of delivery. Don’t worry – we’ll help you with any query.
5. Our Accreditation Advisory Team will inspect your submission and documents in evidence. We may need to get you to submit additional or different information, but we’ll help you with that too. Then we will advise you that accreditation has been granted, deferred or declined. If deferred or declined, we’ll help you to get things right at that time. However, if you have been keeping in touch with us throughout the process, there is much less chance of your submission being deferred or declined.
6. Once accredited, you can display our logo on your site and documentation and this will demonstrate to customers that you are a high quality Provider and you meet the demanding ACCREDITAT Standards of quality assurance.
7. From the date of accreditation there will be annual moderation inspections for each course accredited.
It’s as easy as that!
