I completed Level 5, and I have to say it was an excellent course. I was stretched to bring out the best in the knowledge I received, and the assignments were thoroughly marked. TEFL Institute does not compromise on producing quality tutors.

Thank you to all the staff for your help.

I will recommend The TEFL Institute to everyone

They provide you with all the information you need and does not make the courses to difficult to understand, it is really not impossible to do.

Every time I have emailed them, I got a quick response and everyone is polite and friendly.

I enjoy the courses so much that I keep on adding extra to my list because it is interesting and very engaging.

Thank you for all your help, I did give them a 5 star rating for Job Assistance although I haven’t started to search yet but I believe in the TEFL Institute so much that I am sure it won’t be a struggle.

Thank you everyone who have worked with me and given me guidance, I look forward to working with you in the New Year.

I never regretted taking my TEFL course with The TEFL Institute. I found the content really engaging, tutor competency and help 100%.

The job service they provided me was beneficial, and they even assisted me in finding work in Kiel, Poland, at a really nice school. I would recommend the TEFL Institute to anybody looking for a career in teaching.

I enjoyed the level 5 course and found having a tutor assigned to be a huge help as she was very knowledgeable, and we have become friends now.; she helped me whenever I contacted her and was friendly even though I contacted her at least once; a week.

I also never realised they had a recruitment coordinator once I finished the course, which helped me obtain employment in France for summer 2022 if I am allowed to travel. If you decide to contact them speak to Sarah, she has been super-efficient.

Thank you, The TEFL Institute, for being so helpful. 🙂

Loved the course. I was a bit apprehensive at first as there as so many companies offering TEFL certification.

The course was in-depth and I found my tutor and the staff very helpful. If you are looking for a professional organization then you will find it here.

Hello!

I have just finished my 30 Hours Teaching Young Learners course and I totally enjoyed it! It was well-designed and easy to follow. I really appreciate the offline mode of application, especially for the times when you don’t have an internet connection. I learnt a lot of useful sources which I can benefit lifelong. Thank you for everything!

I recently completed the 30 hour TOEIC, IELTS, Teaching Business English and Teaching Young Learners courses as part of the 300 Hour Government Regulated Level 5 TEFL Course. I found each of the courses very interesting. I feel like I have learned quite a lot. The course materials were informative and well presented. There were lots of different resources like helpful websites, videos, worksheets and guides. I would definitely recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland to anyone like me who is just starting out on their TEFL journey.
