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.
