Quality training

Our EBC International Certificate in TESOL award meets British Council requirements for those teaching in its accredited schools.

The EBC International Certificate in TESOL is a proven, top-quality certificate and one of a select few that is good enough for a world-famous institution like the British Council.

Our accredited status also means that the quality of our course is independently checked regarding:

  • the syllabus we use

  • the qualifications and experience of our tutors
  • the quality of our training centre
  • the content of our web site

Access to more TEFL jobs
