Completed their online course and found my first TEFL job in Italy through their job board.

Staff are always quick to respond to emails and very friendly.

I recommend them if you’re looking to get your TEFL journey started.

Well structured course that’s left me in a good position to go teach abroad. There’s good material I can download and use when I finally start to teach.

The staff are very helpful, Rachel was very quick to respond to my queries and was really helpful.

I recently completed the 180-hr level 5 Ofqual regulated TEFL certificate course online, and followed up with a 30-hr specialist course, Teaching English Online, to teach students across the globe virtually. Both courses surpassed my expectations by a long run – being well-designed, interactive and very thorough – not forgetting the professionalism of the course administrators that provided the ever so important human connection. A special thank you to my tutor, Rachel Hammond, who was always there for me, answering my queries promptly in a caring and friendly manner, ensuring that I had a positive TEFL experience. Thank you, Rachel! I highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland for a Tefl course or to upskill through their many specialists course offerings.

I was referred to the TEFL Institute of Ireland by a colleague at the school that I work at. I had obtained my initial TEFL with another provider and I was adamant that if I was going to upskill I would do better research and engage a TEFL provider that was more aligned with my teaching ethos. I couldn’t have found a better crowd to upskill with.

Over all I found the experience very nurturing, highly professional and one of the most educational experiences I have ever had. I upskilled with the 30 hour Teaching English Online cert. It was fascinating from start to finish. Their website and student portal were very easy to navigate. The lessons were simply structured and basic. The page layout was never overwhelming and very easy to retain. There was was no Tech errors at any stage of the course which I am guessing is down to a well organized and very experienced IT department. By the end of the 30 hours I felt confident enough in the knowledge I had acquired to now set off teaching online.

Over all a top class institute that is worth looking into should you wish to attain a TEFL cert or upskill.

TEFL Institute of Ireland

TEFL courses are very informative, up to date and highly comprehensive.

Literally enjoyed the suggested videos, references and other resources.

Miss Rachel, my tutor and the rest of the team (online and off-line) are very supportive, courteous and ready to assist with any queries.

For us Non native English speakers, VISA entry requirement may limit us to

have internship or even landing on a job in some countries.

Yet, there are “open” countries ready to learn “English” language and speaking.

I highly recommend to enroll is TEFL Institute of Ireland.

Excellent foundation for learning English.

The 180 Hour Level 5 Diploma course in TEFL:

I found the above course to be highly comprehensive and a real eye-opener. The course encapsulated a myriad of hands-on exercises, narration, examples, video clips, teaching methods, multiple choice questions and considerably more. There were also regular opportunities to tune into their webinars – held on Tuesdays at 6pm.

The assessments were extremely detailed, at times challenging, but always thought-provoking and meaningful.

My tutor, Rachel, from Operations, was always at hand to assist with any queries, and I found her knowledgeable and courteous.

As my TEFL journey has only just begun, I will be seriously considering undertaking further courses, ideally with The TEFL Institute of Ireland.

Sincere regards

Tony Gapper
