4. What is required to pass the course?

Atheneum Global 168-hour TEFL course is a Level 5 course. Enrolment on the course does not automatically lead to successful completion of the course. Students who do not reach the required standard will not pass the course and will not receive a certificate. In order to pass the course, you must pass all the online end of unit tests and pass the three submitted assignments.

Online end of Unit tests

You must pass all assessment criteria in course tests in order to progress to the next unit.
The pass mark for an end of unit test is 40%.
You can re-take the online tests as many times as you need to pass. The questions in your re-sit test will be different, but they will cover the same topics.
You will be able to see your test attempts and the marks you got for each section, so this will help you decide what you need to revise. If you have a query about any particular question, please send a ticket to the tutor support platform. There is no penalty for re-sitting tests.
This will not affect your final grade and the number of attempts will not be recorded on your certificate.
The average mark of your three assignments will determine your final grade.

Marking time

We aim to mark assignments within 8 days after submission. For example, if you submit on a Thursday, you should expect to receive your feedback by Friday of the following week. However, this is not guaranteed.

5. Plagiarism

The reputation of this qualification is dependent on our students' academic integrity. Atheneum Global does not tolerate plagiarism, nor the use of third parties, electronically or otherwise, to produce your assignments. If you take any text or teaching ideas from elsewhere, you must provide a clear indication that you have done so and reference such items properly. Work submitted for the assignments must be your own.
If you are found to have sourced any part of your work from another student's assignment, your enrolment will be cancelled without refund and you will not receive a certificate. We appreciate that some students study this course with a friend, and indeed would encourage you to work in this way. However, assignments must be produced entirely independently.
You must not discuss the assignments on open forums, nor publish any part of your assignment or the assignment instructions or documents. You must not request to see others' work, nor offer to show, give or sell any part your own work to others. Any student found to have purchased copies of our assignments from any source, whether or not the student has used that material in their own assignments, will be immediately expelled from the course. Students who have already passed the course and are subsequently identified as having done this will have their qualification revoked.

6. Issue of certificates

Certificates will usually be sent out within 14 working days of completion of the end of course survey.
Atheneum Global and Focus Awards will always aim to dispatch
certificates as soon as possible. However, as some of our courses are regulated by Ofqual (UK Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) regulated awarding bodies, a certain percentage of students must be sampled and moderated to adhere to the accreditation requirements. This is standard for all qualifications on the National Qualifications Framework of England, Wales & Northern Ireland.
This process is beyond our control. We are unable to provide a date for certificate dispatch for students selected for moderation. Should you need confirmation of completion of the course however, we are able to provide a letter stating this free of charge.
After your certificate has been dispatched please allow for the following delivery timescales:
UK: Up to 5 working days
EU: Up to 15 working days
Non-EU: 20-30 working days
