Information about the BALEAP TEAP Accreditation Scheme for EAP practitioners.
The BALEAP TEAP Accreditation Scheme supports professional development and recognition for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practitioners. Developed by and for the EAP community, it sets out clear, practice-based standards and helps individuals reflect on their experience and progress.
Full details of the TEAP scheme, requirements for accreditation and much more can be found in the TEAP handbook.
By giving me impetus and direction, the BALEAP TEAP Scheme is inspiring me to find my place in this discourse community. It’s hard work, but worth it, not so much for the accreditation (though that is a bonus) but for what you discover about yourself and your practice along the way.

Resources to help you with your application
I’ve found the Scheme really motivating and inspirational and a great way to engage in professional development which informs my own practice and raises my awareness and understanding of professional standards. The process has been reassuring, rewarding and confidence-building as I evidence my practice and check off criteria that I have met already.
