Our certificates are globally recognized, backed by multiple international accreditations. Asian College of Teachers (ACT) is accredited by the International Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (QAHE), the Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges, and Universities (ASIC — a member of the British Quality Foundation and recognized by UKVI), and the Education Quality Accreditation Commission (EQAC). ACT is also a member of the CPD Certification Service (UK) and Childhood Education International (CEI), and its courses are endorsed by NCC Education. TEFL courses carry additional accreditation from TESOL Canada and TESOL USA, allowing candidates to sit the TESOL Board exam and receive certificates notarized, attested, and apostilled by the US and Canadian governments — opening doors to better ESL/EFL job opportunities globally.
Please note: Recognition and licensure depend on national regulations and must be verified locally. Our counsellors can guide you on what applies in your target country.
The Classroom program runs at our Kolkata centre, with hands-on practice, peer interaction and a fixed schedule. The Online program delivers the same curriculum through live, trainer-led sessions you can join from anywhere — not pre-recorded videos.
Both lead to identical, accredited certification, and the certificate does not mention "online."
We provide 100% placement assistance through a network of 200+ recruiting schools in India and abroad, supported by regular campus recruitment drives.
Placement is assistance, not a guarantee — outcomes depend on your qualifications, experience and location preferences. Our track record, however, speaks for itself.
Asian College of Teachers (ACT) continuously reviews and updates its teacher training courses to ensure the delivery of high-quality education. However, certain circumstances beyond ACT’s control may affect the use or acceptance of its certificates by educational institutions, regulatory authorities, or other relevant bodies. If you intend to teach in another country, apply for a teaching license, pursue higher studies, or seek approval of your ACT certificate from the Ministry of Education (MoE) or any other educational authority, you may use the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country and its relevant educational or regulatory authorities may have specific requirements and standards for higher education, teacher licensing, employment, or professional recognition. Therefore, the acceptance and applicability of an ACT certificate may vary from one country or institution to another. A certificate that is accepted for teaching or higher studies in one country may not necessarily be accepted for the same purpose in another. We strongly recommend that prospective students independently verify the recognition and acceptance of the relevant ACT certificate with the appropriate Ministry of Education, educational institution, licensing authority, employer, or other relevant regulatory body in the country where they intend to use the certificate before enrolling in a course. ACT strives to provide high-quality teacher training and internationally valuable certification. However, individuals are responsible for confirming the specific recognition, equivalency, or eligibility requirements applicable to their intended educational or professional purpose. This will help prospective students make informed decisions regarding their education and career plans.
