About EBC
Accreditation - opens more doors to TEFL jobs
 |
EBC is a College of Teachers Centre and offers an accredited course. EBC is an Institutional Member and an Accredited Training Centre of the College of Teachers (CoT) at the Institute of Education, University of London, England. |
Some organisations are only institutional members of the CoT but they are NOT
accredited College of Teachers Centres.
The College of Teachers is a UK government overseen examination board that has the power to award officially accredited UK qualifications that are recognised throughout the world.
Why is accreditation important to you?
Answer:
- Quality training
- Access to more TEFL jobs
Quality training
Our Advanced Certificate in TESOL award from the College of Teachers meets British Council requirements for those teaching in its accredited schools. As far as EBC knows, there are only 2 other TEFL certificates in the world that also meet British Council requirements.
The
Advanced Certificate in TESOL is a proven, top-quality certificate and one of a very 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,
- our course manuals,
- the qualifications and experience of our tutors,
- the quality of our training centre,
- the content of our web site.
Access to more TEFL jobs
Many more doors will be open to you regarding TEFL jobs. The British Council is a case in point. You can only work for them if you have a qualification, like the Advanced Certificate in TESOL, that meets their minimum teaching qualification requirements.

Statement of British Council acknowledgement from the CoT
"The British Council acknowledges the College of Teachers as a valid awarding body for those teaching in its accredited schools, but you need to be careful about which College of Teachers qualification you choose. Only the Advanced Certificate in TESOL (awarded by EBC) and Advanced Diploma that combine theory with observed teaching practice are acceptable to them."
Matthew Martin,
Communications Officer,
College of Teachers.
What is the College of Teachers?
The College of Teachers at the Institute of Education is the oldest professional body for teachers in the world. It was established in 1846 and received its Royal Charter in 1849. The College of
Teachers has UK University status, can issue awards up to
Masters level and is overseen by the British government.
Since its very beginning, the College of Teachers mission has always been:
"promoting sound learning and advancing the interests of education by affording facilities to the teacher for the acquiring of a sound knowledge of his or her profession."
