UKRLP and FCDO approved
TEFL UK is a registered UK training provider (UKRLP Reg. #10036852), and every certificate we issue can be legalised, notarised, and authenticated by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for international visa applications, including for China, where schools and immigration authorities require strict documentation.
That means wherever your TEFL career takes you - a bilingual school in Shanghai, a language academy in Madrid, or an online classroom teaching learners from their living rooms - your qualification comes with the paperwork employers and embassies actually ask for.
Looking for the next step up? Selected TEFL UK courses are Ofqual-regulated - the UK's independent qualifications standard and the gold tier for teaching credentials. See our Ofqual-regulated courses.
For more on visa recognition, accreditation, and earning potential, see our FAQ - or jump straight to our legalisation guide for a walkthrough of notarising and apostilling your certificate through the FCDO, including our partner service for China and the Middle East.

I was nervous walking into a classroom of 32 five-year-olds in Shenzhen, China. By week two I was running full lessons on my own. Six months in, I'm earning £2,300 a month and I've extended my contract. The course genuinely prepared me.
