I had a very good experience with the TEFL Institute. Although their website is well done, I had a few questions on the online certification and Walter Cullinan was very helpful. Called me back immediately, answered my questions and provided me with the info needed right a way to enrol!

Was a fun class, and Michelle Benson as a tutor brought lots of energy and good ideas for us to follow the teaching plan keeping it fluid and having everyone feeling engaged with the material (which is hard to do online). I'm looking forward to experiencing more of TEFL and see where it leads for me. Thank you kindly. :)

I’m on assessment two out of three with the 190 hour level 5 diploma with the TEFL institute of Ireland. I am loving it so far and the flexibility of doing it is great and really suits my schedule. The course is affordable and they usually have offers on courses online. The completion time is 6 months which is an ideal amount of time. The tutors are great and very helpful if you have any questions. The course is challenging but achievable and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get into the world of teaching.
