Academic Council & Collaboration
Our level 5 TEFL diploma course has been created by our top developers and course writers, who are highly qualified in the field of TEFL. They have used their knowledge and years of TEFL experience to develop a course that will benefit you as a trainee teacher, teaching you what you really need to know. We’ve also listened to feedback from previous courses and used this to create a course that learners from all over the world can take and benefit from.
The diploma is a level 5 award meaning it is on the same level as an undergraduate degree or a CELTA qualification, which means employers will see the hard work you have put into your qualifications. Our course is accredited by Highfield and Ofqual, ensuring that the course is of the highest standard for our learners.
In the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), Level 5 generally corresponds to post-secondary education, which may include both academic and vocational pathways. Similarly, in other countries like Australia or Canada, a Level 5 qualification may align with a diploma or an associate degree.
