Most TEFL / TESOL companies are not Internationally accredited. However, some do hold a lesser accreditation for an online course ($49/year) as it is cheaper with little to no questions asked to obtain rather than a full comprehensive onsite accreditation. Most simply accredit themselves, create their own accreditation websites to accredit themselves, or seek accreditation from other TEFL providers rather than just improve their training. After completion of your course, you may be lucky enough to secure a job in Thailand, however, if you have your sights set on other countries you may be disappointed to find your training certificate won’t be accepted by the schools or recruiters in those countries. Think of accreditation as quality control with ongoing evaluation and constant improvement that is being continually reviewed by external bodies. The proper accreditation plays a vital role for recruiters looking to ensure that the training you received meets satisfactory levels of quality that are recognized worldwide. Simply put, if the TEFL / TESOL training course does not hold international accreditation nor any licensing nor supervision from an educational body like the Ministry of Education nor Teachers Council of Thailand, the training certificate you receive is pretty useless outside Thailand. However, even some TEFL / TESOL certificates obtained within Thailand are also not accepted by the Thai Labor department as a legitimate training certificate as they can not verify the training.  You’ll be happy to know that Entrust TEFL is internationally accredited by one of the best independent TEFL / TESOL accrediting bodies available today. World TEFL Accrediting Commission is based in New York, USA which only function is ensuring proper accreditation of TEFL providers worldwide, which provides another layer of assurance that your Entrust TEFL certificate will be accepted by schools and recruiters worldwide.
