So you're finally thinking of teaching English?

Take inspiration from Cahil, he wanted me to go teaching in India with him, but I've been there, done that. 'I've tried so many jobs in my life.'-'Oh Yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt.'

I just completed the 120 hour advanced TEFL Qualification. I already have two years of ESL teaching experience, and I wish I had known about this course when I started. The content was well organized and it was easy to go through. Many of the things I learned through this course I had found on my own after many hours of research and reading, but thanks to the Institute of Ireland now I have a certificate to demonstrate that I know a little bit about teaching.

The TEFL Institute of Ireland is a fantastic resource for anyone searching for a comprehensive, user friendly and well laid out TEFL course. I completed the 120 hour course, which was thoroughly enjoyable and informative. The videos and multimedia resources were extremely helpful, alongside the real life classroom examples. Highly recommended!

I attended the 10 Hour classroom course on the 17th August in Dublin. I really enjoyed the entire day, I learnt alot and the Tutor Michelle Benson was excellent, she made each module fun and easy to follow. I am now looking at the next step of doing the 120 Hour online course. I would highly recommend doing the 10 Hour classroom course to anyone that had any interest in doing a TEFL course

I have completed the 30 hours IELTS preparation course; it was well designed into digestible chunks on all areas of IELTS, contained loads of background information and handy videos to reinforce learning and illustrate examples. Overall great course to do, very handy and accessible on the go.

It is my first experience in passing international exams, therefore I`m very excited to take the TEFL exam made by the Institute of Ireland. The contest and module materials are extremely useful and actual for modern English teachers. As a young specialist, I got inevitable experience and knowledge for my future career in teaching. Thank you for a well-planned exam. It is a great helper for teachers worlwide and for me in particular!! 😀😀😀😀😀

I took the opportunity of doing the advanced 120 hour course; it was very well designed, contained great resources and advice and explained the concepts involved clearly. It also provided good practical examples, and videos of teaching English in action. I feel it was great value for money, and a huge boost

what's up, I did the 120 tefl hour course online. it was cheap enough and super easy to complete. I didn't learn anything but was able to blast it out in about 4-5 hours. if you need the qualification fast to work abroad I highly recommend this one.

Moving to Japan in a few months to teach English, had no idea where to even begin when designing lessons or finding a job. The 120hr course has been really beneficial and I feel much more confident in my teaching abilities

I recently completed the 120 hour Advanced TEFL Qualification. I would certainly recommend this course as it was extremely simple to follow, and if you dedicate enough time to the course, you will be able to complete the course in less than 120 hours.

I had completed a 300hr TEFL course and it was absolutely worth it. Staff are super helpful and do their best with any question queries during and after you finish your course. Currently, I had applied for a TEFL teaching position and received a response from Emma, the recruitment manager within a couple of hours. She was extremely helpful and encouraging which made the application process easy. Emma had listed all documents required and once I had forwarded them to her, she had sent off my application within a few hours. I was very impressed with how helpful, positive, fast and eager she was to get my application to the client but also her prompt replies and dedication in getting me placed as a TEFL teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in becoming a TEFL teacher to take on a course with The TEFL Institute of Ireland as the courses are very interesting and set in a way to give you a clear understanding of each module. Staff are very friendly, dedicated and do their best to get you where you want to be.

I've been a teacher for several years in Korea and when I came across the TEFL Institute of Ireland's Master Course, I had to do it! I decided to pick the 300 hour program to get the best results in my teaching. TEFL Institute of Ireland has a really good course and even though I've taught for so many years, I have learned a great deal. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced, I would recommend you do this course. And best of luck for those who are completing their courses.

I am so glad to have signed up to this TEFL course, I chose the 120 hour option and have found it to be fantastic! Everything is so clearly laid out for you and easy to understand. I was hesitant in the beginning as I had never undertaken an online course before but can say now that I could not be happier with my choice!

When I first started considering a tefl course I wasn’t sure which course was right for me and who to get my accreditation with. However with the consistent support and guidance of the Tefl institute of Ireland staff having chosen to do the 120 hour course with them I am confident I made the right choice. The course is jam packed but very well structured making the learning process both accessible and enjoyable!

2019-02-27T16:50:01+0000

Tefl.ie is brilliant! I got the 300 hour master course on special offer and it’s 100% worth the money. They do such great deals to get you started on your qualification to teach English. They do excellent internships and their instagram gives you a really great Insight into what life could be like with a Tefl qualification. I’ve had a few questions to ask about the course and the staff have been excellent in getting back to me as quickly as possible and helping me out. 100% would recommend Tefl.ie!

The 180 hr Advanced Level 5 TEFL suited me so well alongside my current university studies and at times complemented them in terms of critical thinking and resource management. It encouraged high standards and focused on exploring the ways of improving class cohesion and suitability to plans for different students. It also had some really insightful podcasts and interactive videos that round out learning, overall extremely helpful and flexible.

Jason Branley

Got the 240Hr Master Course, easy to follow and explained well with helpful scenarios and videos.

I would highly recommend TEFL Institute of Ireland accreditation. I am officially qualified as a TEFL teacher and its all thanks to the TEFL Institute of Ireland TEFL qualification course. I completed a 120 hours TEFL Institute of Ireland qualification and +270 hours observed teacher training. As a result, I have been working as an ESL teacher within private language schools and photography summer camps, primarily in Eastern Europe: Poland and the Czech Republic and through online platforms.

All the staff in TEFL Ireland were so helpful when it came to making my decision to teach abroad. They gave me great advice about my placement and were always so quick to reply to any queries I had.

John O'Byrne

2018-09-25T16:16:07+0000

I have done the 120 hour online and then on 22 Sep I did the 10 hour practical workshop in Dublin. Was really concerned that it started at 9:30 and finished at 7pm that I would be bored and fall asleep. From the outset Michelle (perma smile), Kate and Katie kept the pace going, engaged us all in a great day of practical learning and good fun. It flew and my goals were fully achieved as after the 120 hour I felt good about the content but needed practical help and some experience. There were 12 of us and it was really a good and and a great group of people. Made a show of myself a few times. Thanks again ladies and and look forward to working with you in the future. John

David Gear

2018-09-22T22:08:04+0000

It is clear, accessible, flexible and engaging.

I was hesitant to take on an online course for the first time but I can honestly say I am glad that I did. I am doing the 120 hour course and find it to be laid out very well with well presented information. The support from the institute is very good. I also love the flexibility that doing an online course gives me. Would recommend TEFL to anyone looking to take on an exciting new challenge

So happy to have finished TEFL 120 course, it showed me how much can be done in a classroom to make teaching not only fun but more informative for everyone involved. Also the online resources and book recommendations are beneficial for how and where to start when it comes to entering the classroom for the first time.

Alyona Gutsul

2018-04-23T13:10:01+0000

Just completed the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course. I took it as a revision of my full-time 4-year degree in English Language and Literature obtained years ago. I often take online PD courses, and I found the option to save/print books being extremely useful. (I wish all online courses have this option available.) Looking forward to completing the rest of my 240 Hour Master Course!

Edel Ní Chléir

2018-03-14T00:41:14+0000

At first I was very hesitant about committing to an online course with little knowledge of what I wanted to gain from it, but I couldn’t be happier with the course I chose to complete: Tefl 120! Not only was it laid out conveniently and packed full of teaching methodologies and even the history of teaching, but Ian himself behind it proved extremely helpful when I ran into difficulty with the course one day due to a technical glitch. Great content and great customer service! Would recommend!

Nicolas Cabrol

2018-03-13T16:55:03+0000

Yesterday, monday march the 12th, I completed my 120 h advanced TEFL courses. Those online courses are well designed and very useful. I've learnt a lot about the methodology, the materials ans the content ! I just hope that not being a native English speaker (french citizenship) won't be an obstacle to find a teaching job of English abroad.

Just completed the 120 hour TEFL component of a 240 Hour Master Class. Modules were informative; well structured and very educational. I learned a lot and have a greater appreciation of written and spoken languages and linguistics. The Great advantage of this system is one can do the training in your own time and start back into a module wherever you left/logged off. The browser, at least in my experience, was initially difficult to navigate. Compatibility was best by accessing the TEFL site using Google Chrome rather that Internet Explorer

Was recommended by a friend to try one of their TEFL courses and was amazed by how engaging and user-friendly the course was. The course is broken up into succinct modules that provided me with a clear indication of my progress and made the completition of the 120 hours an anything but daunting task. I could continue to rave about my overwhelmingly positive experience with The TEFL Institute Ireland except alas I must now dash off to put my new qualification and skills to use in some beautiful exotic part of the world! And so my parting words are that I would 10/10 advise all aspiring English Language Teachers to choose TEFL Institute Ireland!ciao

There are lots of great links to videos and extra reading material for more information which I am finding very useful!

I am currently completing the 120 hour online Course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland and really enjoying it. The course is easy to follow and is jam-packed with relevant information that is easy to navigate and access. I was a little bit worried that because I was doing the online course (instead of in class) that I wouldn’t have the same access to teachers/help when I needed assistance, but this has been far from the case! Whenever I have had an issue, I’ve received quick and helpful responses, which I have greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this course, you can fit it around your own time and schedule without loosing out on quality.

I applied for a TEFL teacher position at the TEFL Institute of Ireland for a position in Vietnam. Within a few hours of my application ,Emma the recruiting Manager got back to me saying that I need to send her one more document as that was the only documentation she still needed to complete my application. She even sent me a follow up email to remind me to send her the document a few minutes after I've read her email. She was very eager to get my application to the client. I am really very impressed with her prompt replies and her dedication to getting me placed as a TEFL teacher.

I have enrolled in the 300 hour Master Tefl Course. I am a Science teacher and I have found this course to be absolutely amazing. Before this course I took English for granted. I wasn't even aware that there is opportunity to teach English as a foreign language. Now I use it as a vital tool whilst giving instructions in my Science lessons. Thanks to Ola and Katie for lending assistance as often as necessary and as speedily as possible. I find all courses to be ideal for enrolment. the most important thing though is that the course in a logical sequence and is very user friendly and suitable for all learner learning styles. I must however say that having enrolled in the 300hr. TEFL course has made me into well rounded, classroom teacher.

I have now completed the 300hr level 5 TEFL Certificate. I breathe a sigh of relief having completed the course and accomplishing a goal. The journey has been intellectually stimulating. I am indeed grateful to the very empathetic and hardworking staff at the TEFL institute of Ireland (Dublin) especially Katie who held my hand as I embarked on this very edifying TEFL journey. The course was very conducive to my learning style which is very diverse and provided the necessary resources which facilitated my needs as the learner.

I strongly recommend this course as a means of academic pursuit, social mobility, financial independence, personal accomplishment or whatever you may choose to label it.
