What benefits do I get with a TEFL certification?
There are a lot of benefits to getting a TEFL certification.
First and foremost, it proves to schools and programs worldwide that you are trained and certified to teach English as a foreign language. This means you are already in a better position than a lot of other people who want to seek English-teaching positions.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any real-world teaching experience yet or if your current job isn’t in the field of education. A TEFL certification helps you jump across a lot of hurdles because it is proof to potential employers that you have already taken steps to prepare yourself as a teacher.
Furthermore, you can go anywhere your heart desires. A TEFL Adventure certificate is not limited to only certain regions of the world. You can choose to teach in any country that you like, or even instruct online classes if that’s what you want to do.
Where can I use my certification?
A TEFL Adventure certificate will allow you to teach anywhere in the world where a TEFL certificate is accepted. We don't restrict the validity of our certificates to certain regions or countries, and it is proof of your qualification anywhere in the world.
Depending on the country, job position, and school you apply to, there may be additional documentation you would need to provide, but your TEFL Adventure certification is fully accredited by OTTSA (Online TESOL and TEFL Standards Agency) and is valid worldwide proof that you have completed a recognized TEFL online course.
What is ACCREDITAT?
TEFL Adventure’s online TEFL / TESOL course is fully accredited by ACCREDITAT. ACCREDITAT is an independent, international accreditation body which sets rigorous Standards for the accreditation of TEFL Providers.
When an organization has been accredited by an accreditation body, it means that they have been assessed against internationally recognized standards to demonstrate their competence, impartiality and performance capability.
We are proud that our TEFL Course has been accredited by ACCREDITAT. This means that all our students can be confident they are receiving the best TEFL education available, scrutinised and validated by ACCREDITAT.
What’s different about TEFL Adventure versus other programs?
TEFL Adventure is developed by actual teachers who have not only taught English as a second language in classrooms throughout Asia, but who are currently still regularly teaching in the classroom. They also have experience instructing others on how to teach ESL.
The developers of TEFL Adventure have real-world experience in how to navigate the challenges of teaching English to non-native speakers in a foreign environment. TEFL Adventure is designed to help both new and experienced instructors successfully acquire ESL-teaching positions abroad, and be confident teachers once they begin their jobs.
What’s the difference between TEFL and TESOL?
TEFL refers to Teaching English as a Foreign Language, whereas TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The two essentially mean the same thing: teaching English to non-native speakers.
Although there are some programs online that may try to claim one is better than the other, this is not true. The different acronyms do not change the meaning of a training program nor does it affect the value of a certificate.
What will affect the value of a certificate and how much you learn is the quality of the institution that offers it and how comprehensive the content of the program is.
I don’t have a college degree, can I teach with only a TEFL certificate?
You absolutely can.
Many overseas and online schools and programs don’t necessarily require teachers to have a college degree. They are more interested in hiring teachers who speak English at a native level and who have actually learned how to teach English as a foreign or secondary language. In this regard, TEFL Adventure has you covered.
How do I receive my TEFL Adventure certificate?
Those who have successfully passed the TEFL Adventure program will be emailed their digital certificate that is proof that they have completed our courses.
The official TEFL Adventure digital proof of certification is usually adequate documentation for teachers to present to most schools and programs.
However, TEFL Adventure graduates may also wish to have a printed hard copy of their certification, which we also offer for a fee.
Printed copies include:
- A hard copy of your certification printed on high quality parchment paper
- Your name printed as proof of course completion
- Authentication of endorsement by TEFL Adventure, as accredited by OTTSA
- Protective card stock sleeve for filing and storage
