Accreditation & Recognition

Accredited by:

U.S. Department of Education Recognized Agency

DEAC

Distance Education Accrediting Commission (USA). A U.S. institutional accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA. It also runs AQC (Approved Quality Curriculum)—a peer-review review of individual courses/curricula; AQC is not full accreditation. For TEFL shoppers: DEAC/AQC is a general quality mark, separate from UK Ofqual Level 5 awarding

SQA

Scottish Qualifications Authority (Scotland). Scotland's national awarding and accreditation body. It develops/awards qualifications and accredits awarding bodies in Scotland (separate from Ofqual in England). If a TEFL course references SQA, it usually means SQA accreditation/approval in the Scottish system, which is distinct from Ofqual's RQF Level 5.

Recommended for Credit by:

ACE Courses

College Credit Recommendation Service

BAC

British Accreditation Council (UK). An independent, inspection-based institutional accreditation body for private/independent providers (FE/HE/training). It's not an Ofqual awarding body; think of it as a quality assurance seal for the provider.

CHEA

Council for Higher Education Accreditation - recognizes accrediting organizations in the United States.

Courses Recognized by:

Aqueduto

Association for Quality Education and Training Online

ODLQC

Open & Distance Learning Quality Council (UK). A UK charity that sets quality standards for open/distance-learning providers and accredits them against those standards (again, provider/course quality—not an Ofqual awarding body).

All our training programs, from our TEFL Levels 1–5 to our Language Mini-Courses, are developed to align with international academic standards. Our curriculum is designed for global recognition, ensuring our graduates are equipped for professional success in any country. Please note: CELTA is a separate Cambridge qualification.
