TEFL Accreditation Organisation Code of Practice

TEFL Accrediting Organisation

The main principles of the TEFL Accreditation Organisation are present in the code of practice, which is a standard that all who wish to become accredited must adhere to in order to maintain their status as an accredited member.

In regard to course advertising and promotion, all promotional material must accurately and truthfully represent the TEFL/TESOL courses that are available. Additionally, there must be no information omission. In order to allow you as a potential student to make informed choices, an accurate breakdown of the course and schedule must be offered. No hidden fees will be permitted, as all course providers must be transparent with the fees of their class. To regulate the selection and admission of students, a clear admissions policy is necessary and must meet equal opportunity standards.

Course delivery is also monitored in order to insure quality. Teaching and training must both be sensible and follow a clear methodology, and courses must be delivered by a TEFL Accreditation Organisation professional with at least three years of experience with teaching English as a foreign language under their belt. Professionals must be able to provide course materials that are easy to follow and relevant, making it easier for students to achieve their goals. The pace of the course itself is expected to be moderated in accordance with the needs of the students.

You should expect your professional staff member to provide continuous feedback throughout the course, allowing you to know how much you have progressed. Clear assessments should be provided on the entire spectrum of aspects that relate to the course, and the methods of assessment put into use should be clear and transparent to you in order to make the tracking of your progress easier. Once you pass the course of your selection, an approved certificate will be given to you.

If you are interested in the staffing or staff development of the TEFL Accreditation Organisation, then it is important to keep the following in mind. You must possess relevant experience and qualifications and you must have enough resources to allow you to deliver your course effectively. As a member of the staff, you will be given the room to develop within the organization. There should also be adequate training programs made available to you as a new trainer for whatever course you choose to teach.

Quality assurance is a large part of the TEFL Accreditation Organisation and all of these principles and guidelines are set into place in order to assure that quality service is provided each and every time. Clear standards are set for both those who are aiming to become a professional member of the organisation and for people who wish to become students. While there is a heavy emphasis on self-lead structure within the organisation, there will always be guidelines to follow and quality checks to ensure that these guidelines are being used. There are many procedures in place specifically intended to monitor and improve the quality of any given course, as well as to monitor the individuals both participating in the courses and the delivery methods of those teaching.

With the TEFL Accreditation Organisation, you can be sure that you will be met with excellent quality regardless of what path you decide to pursue.
