Whether you’re a seasoned educator or just starting out, TEFL Attestation is an essential step in ensuring that your skills and experience are recognized and valued by employers around the world.

Why is TEFL Attestation Important?

TEFL Attestation is important because it provides employers with assurance that a teacher’s qualifications and experience are legitimate and meet the necessary standards for teaching English abroad. Without attestation, a TEFL certificate may not be recognized by foreign governments, making it difficult or impossible for a teacher to secure a work visa and legally teach in certain countries
