• Assessments
  As Level 5 courses require learners to attain a 100% pass mark all coursework will be reviewed by the TEFL Institute of Ireland’s academic team upon successful completion of each module on the learning platform. A re-assessment may be needed if a response does not fulfill the requirements of the question. All written course work will be assessed and returned to the student with the assessment decision, feedback and re-assessment questions where necessary.
  The TEFL Institute of Ireland’s students are awarded three separate attempts for the reassessment process following initial coursework completion. Your reassessment answers will be collected through an online form. If this form is attempted or submitted more than once, only the most recent submission will be reviewed by the assessment team. This will be clear through the timestamp of the submission. We do not accept any other type of reassessment submission except for the official Google form sent by your assessor. This includes Word and PDF documents.
  Students will receive their first re-assessment free of charge as per the TEFL Institute of Ireland’s assessment policy.
  If a second and third re-assessment is needed, a fee of €25 will be charged for each additional re-assessment.
  Upon failing all three separate opportunities for reassessment, students will officially be recorded as a fail grade on their TEFL course. Re-assessment fees are non-refundable. The assessment process/waiting time for your course review takes between 10-12 weeks upon completion.

  Students are allowed to request a re-assessment extension of 10 working days under exceptional circumstances. Any additional re-assessment extensions will incur a fee of €25. Please note that should any changes be implemented to the assessment process employed by the TEFL Institute of Ireland from the time your original assessment review took place and the time of your re-assessment submission, that you will be required to comply with these changes to validate your qualification.

  Updates to the assessment process are put in place to ensure the criteria and standards of this qualification as set by the awarding organizations, Ofqual and TQUK are adhered to by each learner.

• Certificates

  A personalised and unique digital TEFL certificate (PDF format) will be generated and available to download on successful completion of any of your courses. In the case of the 180 hour Ofqual-regulated TEFL Course your digital certificate will signify a completion of coursework, supplied to learners while you undergo the assessment/reassessment procedure.
