The Cambridge Dictionary says that the term accreditation explains as an 'official approval,
esp. in order to maintain satisfactory standards'. Another website, vocabulary.com, defines
accreditation as 'the act of granting credit or recognition (especially with respect to
educational institution that maintains suitable standards)'.
Accreditation, therefore, can be explained as the process of officially recognising a particular
status/quality (to an institute) in order to perform a particular activity. It is an authenticating
process by which the institute is evaluated so that it meets specific set of standards or criteria.
It acts like a checking tool and makes sure that the institution keeps on improving their
performance and results. The body which evaluates the institutions and recognise their status
is known as ‘the accrediting body’.
The TEFL courses provided by Asian College of Teachers (ACT) are accredited by TESOL

also guarantees that the institution/s providing online TESOL courses include adequate

According to Cambridge dictionary, certification refers to a ‘proof or
a document proving that someone is qualified for a particular job, or that something is of
good quality’.
Certification, therefore, is a part of testing, inspection, certification and provision offered by
an independent body written assurance that the product, service or system in question meets
specific requirements.It is the formal attestation or confirmation of certain characteristics of
an organization. This confirmation is often, but not always, provided by some form of
external review, education, assessment, or audit.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, endorsement is 'the act of saying that you approve of or
support something or someone'.
Therefore, Endorsement is explained as the consent to carry out any particular application in
the field in which the institution already has the license to do so. Endorsements are carried
out by an ‘Endorsing Body'. When a reputed body endorses the learning course/s of an
institution, it means, that they have confidence in the institution to develop and deliver their
own courses. The endorsing body do not play a direct role in formulating, designing or
monitoring the courses of an institution offering those, however there are visits as well as
checking of the course materials so that they are able to maintain as well as keep on
improving and upgrading their standards.
