Hybrid (Online) TEFL Diploma Courses + Practicum | Premier TEFL

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.

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.

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!

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!

Hands down! The best few months of my life!

I must admit I was a bit nervous to go off on my own to a foreign country as I've never been abroad for a longer period of time. But, I am so glad I did.

With the help of Premier TEFL, it was a breeze! From the moment I booked to the end of the internship. The friendly staff, their efficiency and always someone there to answer my phone calls and emails (I think I rang a bit too much haha!).

The experience in Thailand itself was something else! From the people, to the food, to the support, to the schools, to all the lovely people I met (who were in the exact same boat as me!)

Initially I thought 4.5 months was too long but it was too short! I wanted to live there forever! To anybody who is in two minds about going on an internship with Premier TEFL just DO IT! Take that leap of faith!

I've an experience, memories and friends for life! Thank you so much Premier TEFL!!

The course was very informative and effective. I learnt a lot of teaching experience. I have the opportunity to work with children from all over the world with different cultures and backgrounds , I have gained confidence from this course and it has helped my future in teaching children. I recommend anyone that has the opportunity to teach abroad to do this course it opens many career paths and a chance to see the world.

I would like to point out some pros and cons of doing TEFL from Premier TEFL.

Pros:
1. Cheap and Best
2. User Friendly Panel
3. Nice support Team
4. Availability of some nice Internships even for Non-Natives like myself even in China
5. Accreditation
6. Multiple options like 240 hours, 120 hours, 30 hours, etc. with discounted upgrades available as well as various other discounts
7. Content is good as far as 120 hours TEFL is concerned, similar to what I have studied in my English Majors Bachelor degree
8. Addition of Videos and Pictures to explain the content
9. Scholarships available which are extremely attractive but only for Natives. :(
10. Better Paid internships in comparison to other websites but for Natives only
11. China internship sounds as good as any other Native internship. Available for Non-Natives as well. :D
12. Blended learning options but again only for Natives. :(
13. Worldwide availability of blended learning, internships and scholarships. For Instance, Colombia, China, Poland, Romania, India, and so on.

Cons:
1. Pay extra for Enrollment Letter and Completion Certificate. (Reference Letter and Completion Certificate - hard copy are usually paid and are acceptable that way)
2. Low quality videos and images makes it hard to understand some of the content

At the time of posting this, I am about to complete my TEFL (120 hours) and begin with remaining 120 hours courses that I opted for.
