Great content and support.

This course is amazing. It really prepares a person to be a teacher, because the content is great, the explanation is clear, and the activities help to practice what we just learned.
When I needed support, they were there for me, and the answers didn't take long.
Every time an Assessment was sent, the results were up very fast too, and I could move on to the next lesson.
If you want to become a teacher, of you do not have any experience, or if do have a lot of experience and you want some refreshment, this is the course for you.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would change the pace I used to do it. I think I could have done it faster.
Pros
  • Online course, which allowed me to take it anywhere.
  • Clear explanations, contexts, activities.
What other participants should know
  • Long Assessments, too many questions.
  • One question could display a large number of questions, which was really tiring.

Level 5 TEFL Diploma review

I found this to be a well-laid-out and informative course. The coursework was easy to follow and the institute made it clear what they expected from you in the assignments. Corrections were returned speedily and there were plenty of extra resources available to help students built in within the website itself as well as plenty of helpful staff such as Rachel Walsh, that are a great bonus. I feel much more confident entering the world of teaching English now so overall, I am glad I completed this course and I would definitely recommend it to my peers.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice would be to make sure you have clear, segmented study notes from the outset as in the beginning I found myself a bit unsure of which notes should be in their own chapter and which were a follow-on from the last topic. This became clearer the more I got used to the website layout but did result in me needing to rewrite notes from the first few chapters at a later point.
Pros
  • - Well laid-out website
  • - Good valuable course content
  • - Value for money
What other participants should know
  • - Course time limited

Review 180 Hours TEFL 5

This was a very taxing course but extremely interesting and well worth the effort. At 64 years I am proud to have completed it and would love to get to teach online now, Rachel Walsh my tutor was great and helped me whenever I needed guidance. Thank you Rachel.
i am just concerned about the status of my other certificates (English Business and English Online and One-to-One - Both 60 Hours) plus my 10 hours Teaching Methodology.
The course overall was specific focused and on target. Thank you TEFL academy for the great experience.

What was your funniest moment?
To be honest I did not have any as I was so focused on completing my studies

TEFL Level 5 Diploma - (Ref: Rachel Walsh)

I enjoyed doing the level 5 Diploma as I have always had a natural interest in the English language. My expectations were high from the outset and I was not disappointed. The breadth and depth of the course is impressive and I found the material overall to be very engaging. I learned quite a bit and have a newfound respect for the work that teachers do, particularly before they turn up to class! I have found my tutor Rachel at TEFL Ireland to be very responsive and she answers questions accurately and quickly. Leo was also very helpful with IT issues I encountered, which he quickly resolved. Thank you TELF Ireland.

Excellent Support!

I had an excellent experience with Rachel Walsh, a customer support agent at Tefl Institute. She is diligent and flexible, helping customers get a first-rate experience with TEFL products.
I have also received detailed help regarding access to the course content and completing the assignments. The customer support team has been very understanding and helpful throughout the course progress and is always available to answer questions or provide recommendations.
It makes the experience first-rate!
Thank you Rachel and team!

Brilliant

I found the 180hr course really easy to follow. The detail and material given is well done and relatable. I took my time completing the course and was able to get a extension this really helped and I am really happy I choose this course. There is access to tutors and online classes to help with studying. I am living in Spain and I'm excited to teach english. I would recommend this course for anyone who is looking to move abroad to a non -English speaking country, or wanting to travel through Europe or Asia.

My TEFL Journey

I am happy to study in the TEFL Institute of Ireland. The learning process is engaging and fun as there are so many interactive tasks. A lot of practical information is given.
Personally me I have known a lot of new facts about English teaching and I have revised and systematized my obtained knowledge. This course gives you a good chance to learn the information about teaching English in-depth, with all the little details. It was very helpful to have a test at the end of every lesson to do a self-check.
So the course is perfect for future teachers.

Pros
  • Many interactive tasks
  • Mini tests at the end of each lesson
What other participants should know
  • There are cards with the option to turn them, but the turn button does not work
  • Some cards are cut at the bottom, so you can't read the information till the end

Excellent Course

I've learned lots of useful things here. The content was amazing and many external sources were listed or provided by links. I am quite happy as the amount of things I learned was affordable too.
Similar programmes anywhere else are costly. I always had someone can help me during my course and I didn't have to wait for the results of my assessments too long. They provided a good amount of feedback for me and I felt quite motivated. I am quite pleased with the course provider and I don't think there would be anything else that I want to add. Annelies Veenhouwer was really helpful during and after my study.

My achievement

Hi, everyone
My name is Natalia, I am an English teacher with an experience of teaching in general education in the Eastern Europe. I came to Ireland four years ago and had been working in service for all this time. I couldn't practice my job because my diploma is not qualified in Ireland. Though, I was very lucky to be able to do the 5 Level TEFL course. For me it was a big challenge as I haven't studied anything the last few years, but all the materials were easy to understand, and Rachel Walsh, my tutor was ready to help me any time I needed. Great thanks to the whole team for this opportunity.

What would you improve about this program?
As not everyone doing this course is a teacher, I would suggest adding more materials about lesson planning.
Pros
  • It is very comfortable do do it, considering that you have a full time job and a family.
  • The access to the course is six months, so everyone can do it on his pace.
  • You are given repeated chances to do your assessments properly.
What other participants should know
  • To my opinion, some modules contain too much information, in others I would like to have more materials..
