Have just enrolled a few days ago in the 300 hours course so it's early days yet on my TEFL journey, but so far so good. Sincere... thanks to Elaine in the enrollment section of the TEFL Institute who was a pleasure to deal with. She was extremely helpful and responsive in providing information about the different types of courses, as well as guidance on which course(s) would be the most useful and suitable for me, as well as providing various other guidance on the ins and outs of undertaking a TEFL course.read more

I'm editing this review as I have since finished the course.This is a very solid course, with plenty of material and resources.... I have yet to begin teaching, but I do feel well prepared by all which the 180 hour course provided, including activities and games, advice on classroom management, advice on teaching styles and methods etc.There are weekly zoom classes which one can join though there is no in-person element to the course which I purchases when it comes to the actual teaching.I found the team at the TEFL Institute to be extremely friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. I spoke with Tracy in the chat on their website and had all my questions answered.They have an option to have a phone call with an advisor, and I spoke with Sórcha O' Connell. She really helped me figure out what course would be best for my specific situation, as I was trying to find something that would give me qualifications to work abroad in Europe.read more
