Trinity CertTESOL vs IATQuO

Choosing the best TEFL course can be challenging due to the abundance of course providers and accreditations on offer. Trinity-accredited courses are a great place to start and will provide one of the best platforms for launching a new career or gaining a qualification to fund your travels. If you have browsed teaching job adverts, you will have noticed that most employers ask for a Trinity CertTesol or a Cambridge Celta. Trinity and Cambridge are the most widely-recognised accreditations. In addition to this, these courses stand for high-quality teacher training. On successful completion, graduates are ready to jump head-on into the classroom and employers feel confident that their teacher can provide a great service to their students. So why are so many courses accredited by IATQuO? IATQuO is a company that is frequently used by course providers as a cheaper, hands-free option. Due to the lack of inspections and continuous moderation, taking a course with this accreditation can be risky as there is no guarantee of quality. We have put together a table of comparisons so that you can see more clearly how the Trinity CertTESOL course at Oxford TEFL compares to courses accredited by IATQuO.

The above table highlights the differences choosing a reputable company can make – whether you would like to make teaching English your career, use your certificate to travel, or prove to future employers that you have dedicated yourself and can deal with the academic demands of an intensive course.
