Due to the ever-growing number of T.E.F.L. certificate and diploma programs on the market today and the lack
of one single international standard in the field of teacher training, those in need of qualified teachers are
often unsure of what kind of training a T.E.F.L. certificate bearer has actually had. The Teflboard seeks to
provide clarification in this area by providing the information every school wants to know about a T.E.F.L.
certificate program when hiring one of its graduates.
The Teflboard is also an excellent reference for those wishing to enroll in a T.E.F.L.
course for teacher training. Its concise format and easy reference system provide a clear overview
of the program offerings at teacher training centers around the globe.

The Teflboard is a reference list of teacher training centers. It provides statistics about each center's T.E.F.L.
training programs, the curriculum, the staff, the program length, the materials, the qualification or certification
offered etc. The statistics found here have been sent to The Teflboard by participating institutions with the understanding
that The Teflboard will make every effort to ensure that the information provided is correct and current. The Teflboard reserves
the right to remove training centers which provide false or misleading information from The Teflboard.
Schools which have shown themselves to be of exemplary quality have been awarded TEFLboard accreditation status.

The Teflboard's focus is facts and statistics about T.E.F.L. training course curriculum and set-up.
It does not promote or endorse any individual school's program. As a provider of a public service, the site
does not provide subjective feedback on the quality of an institution's certificate based on program
advertising or graduate's reports. For tuition and scheduling information, it is necessary for interested
parties to contact each school individually.
The Teflboard is divided into three main sections:
- the country sections - for on-site Certificate and Diploma entry-level and advanced programs
- the Master's section - for on-site and distance/online Master's degree programs (MA in TESL etc.)
- the Worldwide section - for online and distance Certificate and Diploma training programs
