TEFL qualifications
The world of TEFL has changed significantly since we first began teaching English. There is much greater demand from a greater number of students, those students are demanding courses which are more relevant to their needs and the variety of people that want or need to learn English is now much greater as well. English language teaching has become a competitive global industry - and this has brought about a need for standardised qualifications.
