Check our 120-hour and 150-hour course accreditation, understand our provider credentials, and see how certificate verification works before you choose.
Course accreditation looks at the training. Provider accreditation looks at the organization. Registration gives a provider a checkable identity. Here’s how to tell them apart.
Course accreditation
OTCAC
OTCAC’s public directory lists IntrepidTEFL’s 120-hour and 150-hour TEFL courses. It reviews online training against its published standards.

Accreditation and certificate verification.
Accreditation relates to the course or provider. Certificate verification lets someone check an individual completion record.
Our digital certificates include QR verification after successful completion. If an employer needs to check a certificate, use the existing verification page.

TEFL accreditation FAQs
Questions about our credentials?
Here are the distinctions that matter when you’re choosing an affordable TEFL course.
OTCAC’s public directory lists our 120-hour and 150-hour TEFL courses. We also display CPD-Verified provider accreditation under reference 010991. The links above let you check the organizations’ own information.
Are both the 120-hour and 150-hour courses listed?
Yes. Both appear under IntrepidTEFL in OTCAC’s public course directory. Standard and Premium are the learning options for those course lengths, with different support, videos, activities and access periods.
Is this a regulated Level 5 qualification?
Our courses are affordable, privately accredited online TEFL training. They aren’t advertised as regulated Level 5 qualifications or CELTA courses. If an employer requires a specific qualification or observed teaching practice, check that requirement before enrolling.
Does accreditation guarantee a teaching job or visa?
No. Employers and authorities set their own requirements, which can include degrees, experience, nationality, teaching practice or specific qualifications. Check the intended role and document requirements directly.

OTCAC is the course accreditor shown for our 120-hour and 150-hour training. CPD-Verified is our provider credential. A provider credential and an individual course accreditation have different scopes.
