Training Qualifications UK is happy to announce that they have approved their first ever American client in the form of International TEFL Academy based in Chicago, IL.

The company will be offering the TQUK Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (QCF) to its learners with the plan to qualify 2,500 students within the first 12 months.
