I learned more about English than I did in school. I enjoyed learning about the history and the evolution of English. This course was very informative.

What an amazing course! I thoroughly enjoyed the 120 Advanced International TEFL Course and can’t wait to start with the rest! I found the material fascinating and thought that the information was laid out logically and in such a fun way.

I thought that the tests at the end of each module would be extremely difficult but I actually found them achievable which was a great motivator to keep going and pay attention to each lesson.

I can recommend this course to anyone, even if you are not interested in teaching, it was just such an interesting journey. Thank you to the TEFL team on a job well done!

Lisa has been assisting me, so patiently and kindly.

The worst is being in Cape Town, South Africa, so far from Ireland, where one could quite possibly be able to access their office.

So Lisa, I appreciate your understanding and look forward to finishing my course well and then teaching.

Wow! What an amazing course! I learned so much and I never felt that the course was boring or too wordy. The information was presented in a fun and engaging way. And I found it truly fascinating.

I was very concerned about the testing phase of each module but I did better than I would ever have imagined. The logical layout, the quirky tips and interactive features made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you, thank you TEFL team – you’ve literally put my money where your EFL knowledge were!

I am so super excited for the next phase of my EFL journey, well done to the TEFL peeps for putting together this awesome program. If you are wondering if you should do a TEFL course, go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

Premier TEFL is a splendid course that will equip you with all the necessary techniques to teach learners and beginners who are willing to learn the English Language. This course is a very normal course which you would enjoy whiles learning. I therefore recommend this course for you as a beginner to the course and trust me you wont regret it because at the end, you would earn a certificate which would allow you teach English Language as a course either online or in person, live in a classroom in every part of the world.

I am just starting the course and haven’t participated in the online sessions yet, but so far, so good. There is an option to listen while you read, to be honest. It helps me stay focused, so I appreciate that. However, the platform can be a bit weird sometimes.

I signed up for the TEFL 180 hours course to improve my teaching. I taught for two years previously but I thought it was the time to upgrade my skills.

The course is divided into three parts, each with 3 to 4 modules each. It starts by giving the foundation of teaching grammar and vocabulary so as to nicely transition to how to teach in practice with practical, helpful tips.

For me personally, I found the modules on materials and teaching adults the most helpful as I teach mostly adults and sometimes struggle to find interesting and engaging materials. The module provides so many tips and websites to explore with free and paid content! I was positively surprised to see an honest evaluation of each resource to use!

In terms of getting around the course – the website and the platform are very intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate.

I am ahead of my 3rd Assessment. Assessment 1 and 2 were very quickly checked with a thorough feedback provided!

Overall, I really really enjoy the course and it is definitely worth the price! It boosts confidence with young or starting teachers by equipping them with all the foundations and more, they need to start their teaching journey.
