You know how to use English grammar innately, but we’ll teach you the terminology and how to pass it on.

Questions and Answers

What does Level 5 mean?

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.

Is it better to complete a Level 5 TEFL course?

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.

Why take this course instead of CELTA?

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!

How long does it take to complete the course?

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.

What does it mean for a course to be regulated?

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

What’s Ofqual stand for?

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

What’s the difference between accredited and regulated TEFL courses?

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.

Should I do a Level 5 TEFL 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.

I took the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in Classroom Methodologies Course, and it was absolutely amazing! Our teacher, Michelle Benson, was... wonderful - she took us through the course so well and taught so much in just two sessions. Her passion and love for TEFL are undeniable.
