We’re affiliated with Languages4life, the beautiful school in Barcelona city centre where our courses take place. All teachers at Languages4life are hired exclusively from our pool of TEFL course graduates.
This is not an accreditation but simply good practice – TEFL Iberia is a contributing member of IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of a Foreign Language).

As an institutional member we benefit from regular publications and remain up-to-date with regular developments in English language teaching. IATEFL Website.
Is The Certificate Recognised?
Yes – you receive a Trinity CertTESOL qualification, which along with the CELTA, is the only universally recognised certificate. The qualification is accredited by the QCA, which is the regulatory body for examinations and qualifications in the UK. Accreditation by the QCA means that the qualification is assigned a level in the National Qualifications Framework and that it is a formally recognised qualification in the UK.
The CertTESOL is accredited in the UK at Level 5 on the National Qualifications Framework, meaning it is as challenging as the content on a first year undergraduate degree course.
