The 30 hour Online Teaching Course is a very broad but specifically detailed course. It opens up a new world in this ever growing digital era. It thoroughly explains, also in detail, every aspect of Teaching online English Classes that are needed and necessary. The Content is very precise and comprehensive. It covers from the classes to the self promotion as a Teacher.

It shows a very dedicated content to future and Potential Online English Teachers and also touches on and explains the other specific jobs available under the teaching english umbrella.

Well done TEFL Ireland, another amazing course.

Thank you…….

I recently completed the 180-hour Level 5 TEFL course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, and I’m beyond impressed with my experience. The course content was thorough and practical, providing me with all the tools I needed to succeed as an English teacher.

The customer service was excellent – they were always quick to assist and offer guidance. The tutors were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and responsive, making the learning process enjoyable.

The online platform was interactive and easy to use, which kept me engaged throughout the course. What truly stood out, though, was the job assistance they provided. Thanks to their support, I’ve secured an online teaching job, and I’m now working as an English teacher from home!

I highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland. They offer great value, top-notch support, and practical help in landing a teaching job, whether online or abroad.
