Frequently Asked Questions

What is the course entry requirement?

This level 3 TEFL course assumes no prior teaching experience and is most suitable for new teachers who want to start off their teaching careers. We also strongly believe that the course will be of great value to those with some teaching experience who would like to hone their skills. 

The qualification does not require candidates to have a degree. However, we require non-native speaker candidates to have a minimum of CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) B2 level of English. 

Non-native speaker candidates who do not hold a certificate of language proficiency will have to attend a telephone interview with a TEFL adviser and may be asked to submit an essay in order to assess their level of language ability. 

If you are uncertain that you will be able to meet the language proficiency requirements, you can take a free grammar test.

 

How do I register?

You can register and start the course at any time by clicking on the Start Now button. Follow the payment process until you have completed your purchase. The course can then be found in the “My Courses” section which you can progress to immediately.

What do I need to start?

Chances are you already have everything you need to start your course. The course has been adapted to cater for access using a variety of computer devices regardless of what country you are in. We do however recommend that you use a device with comfortable screen size for the best learning experience.

Apart from this, we also recommend that you have:

  • A stable internet connection for video contents
  • A webcam for online meeting with your tutor and webinars
  • A notebook for making notes and drafting answers
  • Acrobat Reader installed on your device

High quality and authentic downloadable materials are also available to support offline learning. 

What is Ofqual Regulated Qualification?

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.

Be aware that most TEFL courses you find online are NOT regulated or recognised at all. While a few are “endorsed” by an Ofqual regulated organisation, this is not the same as a regulated course.

You can check for Gallery Teachers or other providers on the Ofqual Registers, if you can’t find it, then chances are the course is not regulated.

How Ofqual Regulated Qualifications benefit me as a learner?
  • 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.
    How does Gallery Teachers TEFL course compare with other providers?

    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.

    What is the Language Awareness and Grammar Course?

    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.

    What would I receive when I complete the course?

    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).

    Can I upgrade my course to the Level 5 TEFL qualification offered by Gallery Teachers?

    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.
