Hello all you out there doing or thinking of doing a TEFL 120 hr course with the tefl institute of Ireland. I’d say by all means do it if you are serious about the English language and genuinely interested in helping students who want to learn English.

This institute and course is 100 percent genuine. It is extremely well laid out, the site works without a hitch. There are online meetings on Tuesday nights if you need them and a vibrant Discord community.

What surprised me, because I considered myself pretty good at English in class, and have a BA in English Lit and history, were ‘the things that I didn’t even know that I didn’t know’ (To roughly quote, I think Rumfield? the American politician who once said about US intelligence ‘there are the things we know we know, the things we know we don’t know and the things we don’t even know that we don’t know’ (Phew, I’m almost sorry I started that. I hope you get the gist.

Anyway, I’m referring to in particular parts of grammar that is undiscovered country for me and, even scarier, the cataloguing of past, present and future into it’s many parts (past simple, past present continuous and so on.)

To help you, and I love this because I love reference books, they give excellent resources in books, online and in person (conference etc) to increase your learning in these areas.

So yes, if you are serious about teaching English as a TEFL teacher (and I’m already working and loving it) then this course is an excellent place to get the necessary qualification. From there, depending of your life situation, you can go almost anywhere or stay in Ireland and build an excellent academic qualification.

I recently completed this 120 hr TEFL course and found it incredibly valuable. Although I’m a native English speaker, the course gave me a much deeper understanding of how to teach effectively and feel confident in a classroom environment. I’m hoping to move into a teaching assistant position soon, and this training has helped me feel truly classroom-ready. The content was clear, practical, and well-structured, I’m very glad I chose this course.

The perfect online course for teachers looking to teach online. With a wide range of varied interactive resources, not only does it teach you the essentials needed for teaching online, it also literally showcases the tools and resources that are available by using them in this course.

A definite must for anyone wanting to break free from the typical classroom teaching scenario.

I’m genuinely impressed with the TEFL Institute of Ireland and the quality of their courses. The lessons are incredibly informative — well-structured, engaging, and packed with practical insights that make learning both enjoyable and effective. As someone new to TEFL, I appreciated how clearly each module built on the last, helping me gain confidence with every step.

The platform itself is easy to navigate, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. Everything from accessing materials to submitting quizzes is seamless, which made the experience stress-free and efficient.

What really stood out to me was the support available through their website. Whether I had a question about course content or needed help with technical issues, the resources and guidance were always accessible and helpful. It’s clear that the team behind the TEFL Institute genuinely cares about their students’ success.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to start or advance their TEFL journey!

A Fantastic and Truly Engaging Course!

I am so thrilled that I chose the TEFL Institute Ireland for my certification. The course was absolutely fantastic, intuitive, engaging, and surprisingly fun! Like many, I was quite nervous at the beginning, but the modules are so well-structured that my confidence grew with each one. There was a real sense of accomplishment after completing each section and submitting my final answers, watching that initial grade come in. It made the entire learning process feel rewarding. Taking this course was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I would highly recommend TEFL Institute Ireland to anyone looking to start their TEFL journey.
