CASS Strategy:

The qualifications have been created to contribute to the professionalism of the global TEFL and TESOL industry. The qualifications are designed to develop the academic and professional skills and qualities needed to begin a career as an EFL teacher.

The Level 5 qualifications will require learners to gain a sufficient understanding of language systems and commonly used teaching approaches to embark on a career in TEFL and the differences when teaching TESOL. The qualifications will enable learners to become independent, novice teachers with the tools to plan appropriate lessons and courses for their students without support if necessary.

The reflection activities and research tasks required throughout the assessment of the qualifications will equip learners to continue to develop their knowledge and understanding of language, and to reflect on their teaching practice throughout their careers.
