180-Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma

A Level 5 TEFL course under the regulated qualifications framework (RQF) developed and put in place by Ofqual, is equivalent to a CELTA, diploma or higher education (DipHE), foundation degree, or Level 5 NVQ. Obtaining a Level 5 TEFL qualification means you’ll be awarded an English government regulated teaching certificate.

Yes, you will qualify for more jobs and higher pay. A Level 5 qualification is the level below a bachelor’s degree so it sits high up on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. By completing a Level 5 TEFL course, you’d get a higher level qualification than most TEFL courses offer.

A CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Adults) course is typically completed over a 4-week full-time study schedule. It costs around $2,000 / £1,500 and is aimed at educating adults. So, if you want to learn about teaching younger learners too, have a flexible study schedule and pay a fraction of that price – an online Level 5 regulated TEFL course is a winner!

Most learners complete this course in 6 – 10 weeks, depending on how much time you dedicate to your coursework. You will have 6 months of study time access from the day that you enroll and can add more time if you run out.

Regulated courses are officially recognized by the English government; the award sits on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications.

Ofqual stands for Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. It regulates qualifications, exams, and a ssessments in England and vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland.

In the simplest terms, TEFL training organizations are accredited and the qualifications they provide are regulated. When choosing the TEFL course that’s right for your unique plans, it’s important to pick an organization that is accredited, and that gives you the opportunity to complete a Government-regulated course.

There are many ways to become a TEFL teacher and be certified to teach English. Deciding whether or not to take a Level 5 TEFL course will depend on a number of factors. These include how long you’d like to teach English for, where you’d like to teach (at home, online, or abroad), how dedicated you are to TEFL teacher training, how quickly you’d like to be qualified, how much time you have to dedicate to your studies, your level of English (native or fluent) and so on. Taking an English level test can help you discover if a Level 5 course is for you.
