Exceptional

May 1, 2024

I'm a student from Vietnam, took the Level 5 course by OFQUAL and Highfield at The TEFL Institute more than a year ago. I am having some issues with my certificate now in 2024 and they responded to me very quickly and patiently.

By the way, I have to give props to Ms. Olivia Klimczyk who is an amazing Customer Support Staff. She really helped and informed me about the updates of my certificate order.

During the time I studied in this institute, I felt cared for a lot. I highly recommend The TEFL Institute to anyone interested in pursuing a career in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). The course was well-structured and informative, and the guided learning was easy to follow. The workload was manageable, and I was able to complete the course at my own pace. The assessment process was time-consuming, but it felt rewarding and legitimate to know that I had earned my TEFL certification through hard work and dedication!

Excellent course and job coaching

Apr 26, 2024

I've just started with The TEFL Institute of Ireland and have found the course accessible and good value. Emos' job coaching and Rachel Walsh's teaching online and subsequent answers to my questions were very helpful. I would highly recommend.this course, although I am only half way through Level 3, I am eager to complete Level 5 as there are ample opportunities to work abroad and online. I am very happy with the facilitators engagement and the email interactions which are motivating me to keep going.

It makes the experience first-rate!
Thank you Rachel and team!

Great Platform and Learning Experience

Jan 8, 2024

I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone that is interested in any of the TEFL courses. The staff are super quick to respond to your enquiries .. you usually get a same day response when you email them. The courses are well planned and structured too, segmented to make it easy to follow and jump in and out as necessary. I especially liked having the audio option to listen to the material .. made it much more interesting and easier to assimilate. The course is definitely good value for money.

Pros
  • audio makes it so much less dull than having to read all the material .. big plus for me.
  • staff super responsive
  • easy to navigate

What is your favorite travel memory?

I have countless unforgettable experiences that have enriched my travels. From wandering through charming small towns in southern Italy, indulging in exquisite local cuisine, to vibrant nights partying on boats in Budapest, each moment has been a delight. Additionally, exploring the breathtaking mountains of Catalonia provided stunning views and a sense of adventure. Each destination offered unique flavors, cultures, and memories that I cherish, making my journeys truly remarkable and inspiring me to seek out even more incredible adventures around the world.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Since joining the TEFL Institute, I’ve grown both professionally and personally. Being part of a team where everyone is friendly and genuinely cares has made a huge impact on my confidence and skills. The flexible hybrid work option is a great perk, allowing a healthy work-life balance while still feeling connected to a supportive and inspiring team. It’s truly helped me thrive in my role.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of the best stories we’ve heard is from Laura, who taught in Thailand. She was initially nervous about moving abroad but soon fell in love with the culture and her students. Laura shared how rewarding it was to see her students progress in English and embrace learning with enthusiasm. Her experience not only enriched her teaching skills but also gave her lifelong memories, like participating in local festivals and building strong bonds with her students and fellow teachers. It was truly an adventure!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I’d love to join the Vietnam internship program! The chance to teach English there while immersing myself in such a vibrant culture would be incredible. Exploring Vietnam’s rich history, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine sounds like a dream. Plus, meeting and connecting with amazing people on the internship would make it an unforgettable experience. It’s the perfect opportunity to grow both personally and professionally while making a real impact in the lives of students.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

What makes TEFL Institute unique is our dedicated and close-knit team. As a small group, everyone pulls their weight and collaborates seamlessly, making sure we provide the best support and guidance to those looking to teach abroad. We’re genuinely passionate about helping people change lives all over the world through teaching. I was especially proud of our team when we pulled together to support students during challenging times, ensuring they could still pursue their dreams of teaching and traveling abroad.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe the biggest factor in being a successful company is effective communication among everyone involved. It’s essential to foster an environment where feedback is encouraged, ensuring that we can continuously improve our services. Delivering a great experience for our customers is paramount, as it keeps them happy and motivates them to return. By prioritizing strong relationships and understanding our clients' needs, we create lasting connections that not only enhance satisfaction but also encourage word-of-mouth referrals, driving our success further.
