excellent experience from premier TEFL program

I have done TEFL 120 hr course from the first time from this Premier TEFL . My experience was great and excited as everything was easily accessible at one place. The best thing is that we can also increase our study time as bonus. Also their customer support is quick and very helpful. I highly recommend to everyone to do this via this platform. This program is flexible and different packages are available for time to time.

240 hr Tefl Course

I purchased the 240 hr expert course package comprising of a the 120hr tefl course and a number of specialist courses including teaching business English and teaching young learners.
I found the courses to be easy to follow and extremely informative and the tips and advice gained has been invaluable. I have enjoyed building on my knowledge through my progression through the courses and found that the layout of the course pages made it extremely easy to track my progress. The downloadable resources and emails have also been very useful.
The staff at Premier TEFL have always been very approachable and eager to help and I have had a thoroughly enjoyable experience both through dealing with the company and through completion of my course.
I would encourage anyone looking into TEFL to make the jump and study through premier tefl, it's a wonderful experience.

What would you improve about this program?
After completion of the course the certificates should be email to the students so that they always have a copy to hand when their courses time out on the student area. They could add more study time as standard to courses requiring more time such as the bundled packages.

TEFL

We both signed up to Premier TEFL via the Angloville program. We had a really great time teaching conversational English at Angloville in Warsaw and Budapest and would recommend it to anyone who has interest in earning their TEFL certificate via Premier TEFL. The staff at Premier TEFL in Youghal Ireland have been very helpful in guiding us along the way, and we look forward to more travels while teaching English. Many thanks to Rosie, Ian, Emma, Adam and everyone else for hosting us while we were in Ireland, and we look forward to a fruitful partnership in the future.

Incredible Course and Support Team

Before making my decision to get my TEFL and teach abroad, I researched heavily into where to get certified. If you are looking for a balance of a quality curriculum, cost efficiency, and personal support, then Premier TEFL is the team for you. I did my 240-hour course over a period of 6 weeks or so, but you have much longer to complete it as needed. Taking my time with the content, and saving the sections for reference later as needed, gave me a strong basis to begin my international teaching career. They provide a solid blend of written and video instruction, and were prompt in answering my weekly badgering of the staff about the little details that inevitably came up. I had several phone conversations before ever making a purchase, and the staff's patience in this assured me I was making the right choice with Premier.
Their accreditation, something anyone seeking a TEFL should not overlook, is world class and will be accepted throughout the world.

To begin my trip abroad I actually stopped by their office in Youghal, Ireland to meet the staff, and was delighted to discover they are just as warm and helpful in person as they were remotely. These are real people who care, and will go the extra mile to ensure you get in the right program regardless of their profit margin. This is rare, and stems from their wonderful business philosophy which Rosie, the head honcho, has instilled in the team.

There are many TEFLs out there, some cheaper, or more expensive, but for me Premier TEFL was the perfect match. They have connections, internships, and advice for all the teaching markets one could ever want, and have created something truly beautiful that enables adventures like mine. If you are dedicated to getting a teaching certificate, but don't know from what program yet, then I wholeheartedly recommend giving Premier TEFL a go as it was an educational and incredible experience from start to finish for me.

Only problem I had was sometimes with the hours since I was in the US and they are based in Ireland, but there's little to be done or fault in that. Just had to get moving a bit earlier on some days, but other than that smooth sailing.

Barcelona Adventures!

After visiting Barcelona while in university, I immediately fell in love with the country and the culture, so when I learned about the teaching internship in Spain through PremierTEFL, I knew that it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Since I started my position at a school here in Barcelona, I have grown to love the city even more (if that's even possible!). For me, the best thing about living abroad is that I am able to be fully immersed in a new culture - through working at the school, getting to know the teachers and the students, and living with a host family - while still maintaining an 'outsider's' perspective. This balance of the two has helped me in so many ways: I feel like I'm continually discovering new things about life in Barcelona, but I'm also able to relate these experiences back to other places that I've lived and worked. Overall, it has been such a wonderful learning and growing experience for me, especially for my first TEFL-based position abroad.

Having no teaching background, I felt that the internship's TEFL course offered me significant guidance. Not only did it gave me an idea of what to expect in the classroom, but it also equipped me with wide variety of resources, which - as I've come to learn - is one of a teacher's most important tools. PremierTEFL also provided a fantastic support system throughout the whole process.

As with any new experience, there will be ups and downs in moving to a new place, taking on a new position, and figuring out life in a new country. But these ups and downs are integral to shaping who you are as an individual; they make you stronger and help you discover something new about yourself. Looking back on my time here so far, I've learned so much about the world around me: from the friends I've made here, from the other teachers at the school, from the students I teach, and from the people I've met on my travels in Europe. If you're ready to embrace a new adventure, I highly encourage you to apply to the program!

Since PremierTEFL works together with CAPS Home to Home to place interns throughout Spain, I would have loved to know more about the partner company Home to Home while in the process of applying to the internship. Also while undergoing the application and interview process with CAPS Home to Home, it would have been great to have had some interview tips from PremierTEFL on how to prepare for the TEFL lesson plan and teaching experience part of the interview.

Very informative curriculum

For my gap year, I wanted to teach English abroad to learn new skills, experience new cultures, help others by providing excellent English education, and get paid for it. I imagined myself living and working in a foreign country. Premier TEFL has helped me achieve that. The curriculum honed my skills so that I could to teach a diverse range of students, from young learners, to business professionals. Whenever I had questions or concerns about the course content or finding a TEFL job, Premier TEFL responded immediately, and was able to make my TEFL certification process as smooth as possible.

Great company!

I signed up to do a course with Premier TEFL a few months ago and since then I have had some issues at home with family illnesses and being unable to log into the account due to problems with my email however when I did manage to log in a wonderful girl called Kate Popova helped me with extending the course when I thought I wouldn't be able to!

The online chat service is a great help and provides brilliant customer service at just a click.

I cannot wait to get stuck into the course properly and receive my diploma!

Bang for the buck!

I purchased this program to set myself up for opportunities to live abroad. It was easy to begin, easy to navigate, and contains great content. I went to college for education so the difficulty of the content itself is probably not a fair critique since I've done most of it. With that said, I would happily recommend this program and, as the title states, you get a lot for your dollar which is hard to come by!

Premier TEFL is great

I am currently working on my TEFL certification through Premier TEFL for the Brazil Internship. I find the course to be very straightforward and informative. The online course was comprehensive and I definitely plan on keeping it as a reference souce for the future. It covered everything I would want to know about how to run an English language classroom. Also, the staff at Premier TEFL are very helpful and reply quickly.

Spaniard Living

I currently reside in the Catalunya region of Spain. I decided to participate in the TEFL internship program because it has always been a goal of mine to work abroad. I love traveling and believed that I needed more than a one week vacation to get to know another culture. Within the past 2.5 months I have gotten to know so many people in my community, through the school I work in and my host family. With the holidays approaching I have felt home sick but I have established friendships that have helped me get through the tough times. Also everyone I´ve met has been absolutely supportive and welcoming!
Through this experience not only have I learned about a new culture but I´m also able to travel to other countries. As an American, who is visiting Europe for the first time, this is an amazing perk of the program. Also, with the TEFL course provided, I have additional guidance toward becoming an effective teacher. Especially when I do not have a teaching background. Overall I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for self growth, who love traveling, and who are open minded to a new experience.

What would you improve about this program?
This program can be improved by clarifying their role with CAPS home to home and stating that the intern will be working along aside CAPS rather than Premier TEFL.
