How important it is TEFL   accreditation?

Because TEFL   courses are not universally standardized, the content and quality may vary greatly from one organization to the next. Therefore, it’s very important to check that the organization providing your course has external recognition, such as TEFL   accreditation by a recognized outside body.

Accreditation by an outside body lets you know that the TEFL   program meets certain academic and professional industry standards. Accreditation indicates to schools that your certificate is high-quality, verified, and internationally accepted.

Questions to ask a TEFL certificate provider regarding accreditation:

Are you accredited? If so, by whom?

What is the website for your accrediting body?

Is the accrediting agency recognized by a major university, government department, or government-approved body?

Can you direct me to a government or university website that details this recognition?
