This is a very efficient and useful way to participate in the TEFL programme. I have found the lessons to be very informative. The support within the programme is also very helpful. Upon needing additional support regarding completing this course, Lisa was very quick to reply with plenty of options to help me continue with my progress. She definitely showed that there is a great community within this programme!

Such an amazing experience
Such an amazing experience. There should be some improvements because video links don't work in a part after 120 hours of lessons, but everything else was amazing, and I’m so glad that I took this course.

Great support offered by the TEFL team with access to a wide variety of materials. Some slight overlap in courses but good to refresh the information.

I've had a great experience with my TEFL 120hr course, and with the institute. The course was easy to understand, not too hard to complete and served it's purpose well!
The institute itself is great when you need a hand or some advice- I had a talk with John Curry and he helped me see my next steps clearly. He was patient with me and replied quickly, taking his time to understand my situation and get back to me with appropriate information. He helped me see my situation clearer, and understand what I needed to do next. Thank you for the help!
I'd recommend anyone who's looking to get into teaching English, tutoring etc. to take part in a TEFL course with this institute. The work/format is great + easy to understand, the communication's incredible, and the other opportunities/events you can take part in are worth it.

I am enjoying my TEFL course so much
I am enjoying my TEFL course so much, I learn all different kinds of things, for example how young learners think and what different ways they could think while you are teaching them. I am enjoying this course so much because it is not only about learning how to teach, but the course provides so much more than the standard, it provides examples of teaching different age groups, readings and also resources that you can go to. I am very happy that I was advised this course.

Five-Course Bundle
Having completed a 180-hour Level 5 course during the COVID lockdowns, I wanted to refresh myself and add a few other courses to my CV. In March of this year, I came across a very attractively priced 5-course bundle offered by TEFL.ie, which suited me perfectly. The bundle included an Advanced Grammar course, an IELTS course, and a Business English course, which I was most interested in, as well as a guide to Teaching Online. When enquiring about the bundle, I chatted online with Elaine, who was most pleasant, helpful and informative–as I've always found the staff at TEFL.ie to be–and this sealed the deal. I purchased the bundle and have just completed the Advanced Grammar modules. It made for a perfect refresher–far more detailed, engrossing and useful than I had imagined, even as a fan of grammar! There is even a section on teaching grammar, to put this all in context, with tips along the way to make things more fun and interesting for students. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in grammatical analysis, whether for use in a career or just for its own sake! Thanks to Elaine and the staff. On to the next course!

After completing my course I got in touch with Elaine to ask about options post course. Elaine was perfect for relaying all useful information and resources I needed to further my progress and clear up any questions that remained. Can't say enough good thing about it all and would recommend talking talking to Elaine if you have any interest in taking a career in TEFL.
