Accreditation is an important aspect of educational courses as it ensures the highest possible academic standards for professional certifications. It is a quality assurance for students who have the affirmation that the institution has gone through a screening process and its courses have been through a stringent evaluation process from recognized international bodies.
Accreditation plays a vital role in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification and it is often a matter of concern for those looking for a TEFL/TESOL course and planning to teach English abroad.
An accredited TEFL certification is important as it ensures that the quality of training you receive spells excellence as it strengthens your EFL/ESL teaching career which in turn increases your credibility as a TEFL/TESOL trainer as you embark on teaching English abroad. Your certificate will be recognized everywhere and employers across the world will take into consideration the course you have taken and the skills you have learnt. With a questionable accreditation you will jeopardize your TEFL career as employers will not value your certificate.
TEFL/TESOL conforms to a set of standards and you must consider the following points before you invest your aspirations, energy and money into a course :-
There is a great deal of difference between Accreditation and Association and Membership as a valid accreditation holds a great deal of weightage compared to a membership. Any institution can apply for a membership but membership does not guarantee accreditation whereas accreditation is a long quality review process conducted by an organization that is external to the institution being reviewed. When it comes to accreditation, there are set standards of excellence or goals to which all institutions have to adhere.
Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
