Why choose Gallery Teachers TEFL Courses?
Accredited and Recognised
Gallery Teachers TEFL course not only offers learners the best Training content, but it is also one of the most recognised courses in the world, thanks to our extensive footprint in the EFL industry.
Working in partnership with telc, our courses are officially recognised by the UK government accreditation body Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation). This means the courses meet international standards by ensuring that the quality of all training materials as well as assessment processes is of the highest level, and the qualification you obtain at the end of the course is transferable around the world.
Downloadable Material
Training content can be downloaded as worksheets for your future reference to support you after you have completed the course.
Everything You Need In One Package
Each Module is divided into ten to fifteen individual lessons and includes explanatory videos, audio recordings from experienced teachers and classroom observations. This means that you will have an opportunity to observe real TEFL lessons and listen to senior teachers sharing their ideas, in order to make your learning experience more authentic, meaningful and engaging.
Activity-Based Learning
The entire training content is activity based so you ‘learn by doing’. All individual tasks have answers provided, and there is an end-of-lesson input commentary, summarising what you have studied in each lesson to help you organise your knowledge. It is important that you attempt all tasks before checking answers as this will allow you to process information as well as monitor your own progress.
“Gallery Teachers has been a supporter and contributor to the global English language teaching community for 25 years. We are here to help you in every step of your teaching journey!”

Choosing the Right Course
Many online TEFL course providers offer non-regulated courses rated in hours, but most have not specified how many of these hours are face to face time with an experienced trainer.
The truth is, you get what you pay for. The so-called “level 3” or “level 5” courses from low-value providers are not regulated so the “levels” don’t actually mean anything at all. Moreover, quite often you will find poorly compiled PDF or ebooks that will not prepare you for starting a career in TEFL.
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. Only regulated qualifications from a reputable provider give you the assurance that your achievement is real and authoritative.

Reviews
180 hours online TEFL course – Just right for me
I have just completed my 180 hour online TEFL course. The course is easy to navigate and full of useful resources. It’s complete. What I especially liked about it is that you feel like it’s made of multiple voices. What I didn’t like in other online courses I took in the past, is that they told you How to do things or How NOT to do things, like there was just one way to do them. This course is more opinionated, it gives you a guideline, sort of “This is a good way to do things, start using our method to develop your personal one”. I like it. Very original. Definitely recommended!
New hope after COVID
I have lost my job due to COVID. I’ve never thought about teaching English, yet here I was, having to find a way to make some money. I have always enjoyed teaching, but doing it as a profession was something new, that made me skeptical. I talked about that with the staff members in the chat, I said that I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to do that, and they suggested me to read some of the articles in the blog, to see if this was something for me. I appreciated very much the fact that they didn’t try to sell me anything, they want to build a community, and taking their TEFL course is just the first step to know eachother. Now that I finished, I am feeling inspired and I am ready to start teaching English online, working with Gallery Teachers and on my own. Thank you guys, as you once told me, now I feel that the World is my oyster!
I like the sense of community
I didn’t know Gallery Teachers before signing in for this course. I selected a few that I liked and asked a friend who currently teaches English in Vietnam, and he said “Definitely go with Gallery Teachers!”. I trusted him, and it’s been a very good choice, I am very satisfied.
I contacted my Tutor a few times more than the necessary and she was always fast to respond and keen to help. The videos that support the classes are also very well done. They are short, so you can rewatch them entirely without keeping you busy for long periods of time. I recommend this course.
