Alongside Ofqual and Highfield, the company lists AQC (Approved Quality Curriculum) status from the US Distance Education Accrediting Commission and accreditation from the Online TEFL Certification Accreditation Commission (OTCAC). Its FAQ says most UK learners finish the 120-hour course in 4 to 6 weeks and the Level 5 diplomas in 6 to 14 weeks, and every course has to be completed within 6 months of purchase. No degree is needed to enrol, and course fees can be split into three instalments at checkout.
