IATQuO for TESOL/TEFL Teachers

What IATQuO attempts to achieve for trainee TESOL/TEFL teachers

IATQuO (International Accreditation of TESOL Qualifying Organisations) promotes and maintains internationally acceptable standards in the training of teachers of English to speakers of other languages.

To achieve this we provide initial and ongoing external accreditation/validation services to training organisations who request them. We also encourage training organisations to subscribe to our accreditation services if they do not already subscribe to them or to any comparable validation or accreditation scheme.

How can a trainee teacher of English benefit?

By enrolling on a course that has been accredited/validated by IATQuO, she/he can be sure that she/he

- will be making an informed choice of training course,

- will be trained to internationally acceptable standards,

- will be capable of preparing and conducting English classes, provided the training course has been    completed successfully,

- will have a greater chance of getting a job than someone whose qualification is not submitted to external scrutiny,

- will be paid in accordance with rates prevalent in the country of employment,

- will be in a position to develop professionally if she/he so desires.
