Course accreditations:

These accreditations confirm that the courses we provide, our tutors, our assessment instruments, and our company processes and procedures are of the highest quality and are fully geared to helping you succeed.

What is accreditation?

Accreditation is a formal and intensive review conducted to ensure that an educational course is capable of delivering high-quality and effective training.

These reviews are performed by organizations known as “accreditation bodies”. It’s important to ensure that any accreditation body is independent – meaning that it doesn’t have ownership of any course that it accredits, and that none of these course providers hold any stakes within the accreditation body. This helps to ensure that fair and unbiased checks are enforced.

When completing any course it’s important to check the accreditation behind it.

About CPD:

CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is a term used to describe learning activities that can help you to develop new skills and enhance your career prospects.  Established in 1996, the CPD Certification Service is a CPD accreditation body that oversees the accreditation of thousands of professional skills and training courses from industry-leading organizations and educational institutions around the world.

World TESOL Academy is an approved CPD Member (ID: 14136), and our courses are accredited by them. Our 120-hour TESOL/TEFL course’s verification number is: A026162. Our 60-hour TEYL course’s verification number is:  A026163.

The accreditation process involves a full review of our courses, learning platform, assessments, and accessibility features to ensure that they achieve their intended purpose – providing a thorough understanding of how to teach the English language to non-native students – and that we have systems in place to enable our students to study with ease.
