All TEFL course tutees must be native or near-native English speakers, and a minimum of 17 years of age.
Because of our attention to detail and the quality of our training courses, i-to-i is the first TEFL provider to be accredited by two internationally respected external bodies - the ODLQC and the SQMS. This means that our courses are regularly inspected and assessed to ensure that they meet the very highest industry standards.
There is no single internationally recognised TEFL certificate. What is accepted by schools in Chile may not be accepted by schools in Italy, but because of our joint accreditation, our certificates are amongst the most highly respected in the business. We chose to work with the ODLQC and the SQMS because they are highly respected and widely recognised, so you'll have a choice of thousands of the best language schools worldwide.
Because of the high standard of our courses, schools all over the world actively seek out i-to-i graduates for TEFL teaching jobs. It's also the reason that 94% of our graduates would recommend i-to-i TEFL courses to their friends!
