Karen C.
I have started my TEFL course and already I am finding it very informative. I chose your course in particular because my older brother also did the 120 hour course and loved it. He also praised the support in job searches he received from your team. He found placement in Spain very easily with the help of your team and he commended the support that he received along the way.
Clodagh
I have always been interested in doing a TEFL course and with all this spare time on our hands at the moment I thought it was great time for me to do the course. I chose the TEFL Institute of Ireland because it is trusted by employers worldwide and has a great reputation so I trust that I will benefit the most out of this course.
Eva
I chose TEFL institute of Ireland for my course, after doing plenty of research on other sites I just felt that this was the most reliable for me. Plenty of sites charge a bomb for the same content so the good value was a big factor! Also through looking at your site I saw that it offered so much support, and past pupil stories. I felt it would be the best in regards to offering help if I needed it, and through joining the jobs board I’m confident it will guide me in the right path for a dream job abroad!
