This course was goldened which I will…

This course was goldened which I will never forget. I got a reliable syllable for teaching young learners and adults and it really boosted my knowledge of teaching English as a foreign language and totally brushed up my downgrades in some areas of English language.
In addition, it has perfect materials and platforms which assist you with incredible studying time.
As well as mentors are honest and exemplary ones during study as they serve bona fide dedication.
What is more, I recommend to anyone who has extrinsic motivation to join this course because it is the right position, right time, and the right career. You deserve it, if you have an ambition for the next future.

Before embarking on this venture


Before embarking on this venture, I had some misgivings about both the practicality of online learning and the suitability of the course to my aspirations. Now I am a few yards away from the finishing line !

The course is well-structured, very informative and the website is easily accessible. The Highly skilled and seasoned members of the staff have made life easy for me with their rapid response to my queries. I am extremely grateful to the Course Assessment Officer Laura Graham. Thanks is also extended to Jenny O'Sullivan.

Keep up the good work TEFL Ireland !

Additional Support and Guidance

I have completed 2/3 of my TEFL LEVEL 5 ADVANCED DIPLOMA and I have just attended a Zoom webinar with Emos, who was very informative explaining the different markets available, what companies are looking for, how to apply for positions, and more. Emos answered any questions with great professionalism and kindness and I feel more prepared to look into my professional future. It's great to have additional support and guidance from the course materials and the tutors.

Finally my TEFL path begins......

Finally being able to embark on my TEFL path, I have just finished the 30 Hour Advanced Grammar for English Teachers Course and I am so pleased with it. It is concise, to the point and very well explained. I will continue to use this course to build up my portfolio of activities for teaching grammar and am delighted to have found the TEFL Institute of Ireland. I have more courses to start in the next few days. Thank you TEFL Ireland.

I completed a 360 TEFL

I completed a 360 TEFL. It was a great learning experience. The TEFL Institute of Ireland have been more than helpful and accommodating. Once I completed my TEFL Lisa the customer support advisor guided me with what I could do after completing my TEFL. This was extremely helpful as it gave me an idea of what I wanted to do.
