Good content but very text heavy

The course material is very thorough, and you learn a lot. I did the Level 5 diploma and the grammar sections are excellent.

My only criticism is that it's very reading-intensive. I'm more of a visual learner, so I would have liked more videos or interactive graphics.

The tutor support was good, though, and they always answered my questions.

Overall, it's a solid course that gives you a strong foundation, but adding more visual content would make it even better for people with different learning styles.

What would you improve about this program?
The text is very heavy, need to make it light.
Pros
  • Learning to the moon
  • Interactive learning
  • Support is ok.
Cons
  • Support is slow a little bit.

Good content but very text heavy

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Diploma, and overall, I found the course to be very comprehensive and informative. The structure is clearly laid out, and the material covered all the essential areas I was hoping to strengthen — especially grammar. I have to say, the grammar sections were particularly strong, which I appreciated because it's an area I used to feel unsure about. The course really helped me understand how to break down concepts like tenses, conditionals, and sentence structure in a way I can confidently explain to future students.

One of the things I liked the most was how in-depth the content was. It doesn’t feel rushed or shallow. Everything is explained with solid examples, and there are plenty of opportunities to test your understanding along the way. You genuinely come away from each unit having learned something meaningful, and by the end of the course, I felt much more prepared for classroom situations — both online and in person.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps the tests/ quizzes could be a bit more difficult. Perhaps, you could make questions more random when it comes to retaking the test.
Pros
  • Now very careful with my pronunciations and punctuations
  • Explore many things
  • Enjoyably best Moments
Response from Premier TEFL

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear how much you valued the comprehensive structure and in-depth content of the Level 5 TEFL Diploma. It’s fantastic that the grammar sections gave you that extra boost of confidence—grammar is a tricky area for many, so knowing it clicked for you is brilliant feedback.

We also love hearing that you felt prepared for both online and in-person teaching after completing the course. That’s exactly the outcome we aim for.

If you ever want to reconnect with us or refer a friend who’s thinking about TEFL, we’d absolutely love to hear from you.

Good first time abroad experience

It was great to have assistance with everything regarding visas and work permits, as this was my first time abroad I think dealing with all that would have been overwhelming. It was also great to have other teachers from the agency starting out with me, so if you are nervous about being alone I recommend asking for a placement where other English teachers are. My students were amazing and I miss them, though some classes were very tough, be prepared to work. You will get opportunities to travel.

Pros
  • Visa and work permit assitance
  • Free housing
  • Assitsance available through out the year
Cons
  • Some disorganization within in the school and the agency
  • You must pay your own way from orientation to your teaching placement
  • Last minute updates which may cause you to miss/ rearrange your classes
Response from Premier TEFL

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that having support with visas and work permits made your first time abroad smoother, it can definitely feel overwhelming without that guidance. It’s also lovely to hear how valuable it was to start out with other teachers by your side; that sense of community makes such a difference when you're far from home.

Your advice about requesting a placement with other English teachers is spot on, and we’re sure it will help others who might be feeling a little nervous about going solo. And it’s wonderful that you formed such a strong bond with your students, even through the tough classes!

If you ever want to reconnect with us, share more stories, or refer a friend who’s thinking of teaching abroad, we’d love to hear from you.

180 Hours Certificate course TEFL

Overal the course was really excellent. It provides teaching opportunities as a secondary or even primary income when I do hopefully start my online teaching. I Found the course to be very thorough and every aspect was covered in both questions and required answers field, however, it made it a bit tedious and very long but as the saying goes “no pain no gain right?” I would like to add that help was ever present when needed and I would like to personally commend and thank ROSE in (CUSTOMER SUPPORT) who held my hand when I felt overwhelmed, who was very kind, compassionate and encouraged me to finish.

Pros
  • Parts of English that I spoke naturally but fully understand the structure and how it differs from other languages
  • Good addition to my CV and a source of additional income when I start to reach online
  • Now very careful with my pronunciations and punctuations
Cons
  • Fatigue
  • Found it very tedious

PremierTEFL Paid 5 Month Thailand Chiang Mai TEFL Internship

Moving to teach in Thailand was one of the best decisions I ever made. I met amazing people, grew as an independent individual, and gained valuable experience as a teacher! This program provided me with pre-departure assistance, training, and school placement that allowed me to live my dream of teaching and working in Thailand. Moving to a new country can be very difficult, especially with visa and COVID requirements. However, Premier TEFL's partners in Thailand were extremely helpful with this process. They made moving into a different country in the middle of a pandemic easy! Their training program was also super informative and included effective methods of teaching. When I arrived at my placement school I was able to see the progression of my students' learning with the methods taught to me. Additionally, I was living in a country with amazing food, beautiful mountains and beaches, and some of the kindest people I have ever met. If you're looking for the perfect place to begin a new adventure in Thailand, this is the perfect place to start!

Pros
  • Helpful assistance with paperwork before and during your time in Thailand
  • The training period allowed me to easliy make new friends
  • Great introduciton to living in a new culture

Incredible and unforgettable experience

The experience I had in Romania was unbelievable. It allowed me to get to know a whole new culture and explore Romania which is a fascintating country. I had a lot of fun with my colleagues who were all there for the same reason. The children were great- really easy to teach and interested in learning. When travelling I was always accompanied by Romanian colleagues who were on hand to help out with any translation issues which made me feel safe and relaxed. The accomodation was comfortable and there was plenty of food for mealtimes and snacks. We also had the opportunity to go to the supermarket and buy extra provisions if we wanted. The camp is intense work but completely rewarding.

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was hanging out with the amazing people I met. We had so much fun working and also in our free time. We went on adventures to local tourist sites and also just playing games in our accommodation.

An amazing TEFL course + personalised experience + teaching opportunities provided

I am so glad that I chose to complete my TEFL course with Premier Tefl. The course is in-depth and I completed it having felt like I learnt a lot about teaching English as a foreign langauge. The course kept me engaged because of the videos, podcast and friendly language used throughout. All of the staff are friendly and eager to provide students with support both during and after the course. I really like that Premier TEFL offers English teaching internships around the world, the opportunities that my TEFL certificate and Premier TEFL have given me are endless! I highly recommend doing a TEFL certificate with this company!

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly can't think of anything I would improve about the TEFL course I completed.
