Regulated qualifications from a reputable provider give you the assurance that your achievement is real and authoritative. The money you have invested will be returned many times over as employers always prefer these qualifications over non-accredited courses. 

The certificate you will receive on completion of our Level 3 and Level 5 TEFL Certification Courses will contain the UK Regulator’s (Ofqual) logo along with the full qualification title and qualification number.

• The qualification level is recognised on the National Qualification Framework and Regulated Qualification Framework
• The credits associated with the regulated qualification are recognised by, and often transferrable to, other educational institutions
• Your qualification will be more easily recognised, not just in England, but also across the UK and Europe as part of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
• Employers know that someone who has a certificate for an Ofqual regulated qualification has reached a recognised standard in the acquisition and achievement of specific knowledge and skills.
• It enhances the standing of your achievement in other countries all around the world.

The truth is, most of the so-called “level 3” or “level 5” courses from low-value providers are not regulated by any official authority, so the “levels” don’t actually mean anything. While there are a few providers with qualification “endorsed” by an Ofqual regulated organisation, this is not the same as a regulated qualification and can not legitimately display the Ofqual logo on the qualification certificate. 

Our Level 5 Ofqual recognised TEFL course will additionally provide you with real-life teaching experience by supporting you in online lesson preparation and delivery.

Our Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Course also includes the Gallery Teachers 20-hour Language Awareness & Grammar Course as an introduction to grammar rules and terminology that will boost your confidence and pre-course knowledge, by raising your language awareness. 

This is important because the TEFL course is a teaching methodology programme, not a language course; therefore, there will be no explicit grammar teaching during the course. There will however be references to grammar terminology and concepts throughout the course, in particular in the Teaching Grammar Module. The Language Awareness Course will give you an overview of grammar and help you understand the important grammar points in order to prepare you for the course.

You will have access to the grammar course throughout the course as a reference.

At the end of the course, you will get an Ofqual Accredited Certificate issued jointly by Gallery Teachers and telc, including your full name, the total number of hours of TEFL training you have completed, course modules, date and an individual verification number.

Embossed hard copy certificate is also available free of charge (postage fee not included).

You can transfer your earned credit to our Level 5 Ofqual regulated qualification seamlessly. All you have to do is to complete the additional Level 5 modules. The upgrade fee is £398.
