What is TEFL?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is primarily teaching non-native speakers English without the use of translation. This means you won’t need to know their first language. TEFL teachers will need the knowledge and know-how of the methodologies to teach in this way. This is why teachers must first complete a TEFL course and gain the qualification. TEFL is widely used to teach English online in one-to-one or small group scenarios or to teach English abroad and is sometimes even used as an easier way to travel.
What is the best TEFL Course?
One thing to look out for in a TEFL course is that the TEFL company offers an Ofqual-regulated Level 5 TEFL certification. This means the content, teaching, and materials have been examined carefully and are of high quality. A qualification regulated by the UK Office for Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) can be awarded to learners. Another alternative is an externally accredited certification; however, you should make sure that you get at least 120 hours of training, which is the industry benchmark for employers worldwide.

We want you to be well prepared, to have the right qualifications and all the skills necessary to realize all of your ambitions.

Verified Student Reviews
Testimonials from students who have taken courses through The Institute and found success teaching English online or abroad.
I would highly recommend if you are thinking of doing a TEFL Course to do through The TEFL Institute of Ireland. I was in contact with Sórcha who recommended the best course for me. She was so lovely to deal with and gave me a great offer and followedUp throughout me applying. I felt so at ease when applying as it was an easy process. If you want great support and information i would recommend getting in contact with Sórcha.
I have recently completed the 180-hour Level 5 Diploma with 10 hour Virtual TEFL course. I highly recommend it to anyone who is about to start their TEFL journey.It has been a great experience. I have gained so much knowledge and information. The structure of the course is perfect, you learn about teaching methodologies, phonology, grammar, lesson planning and so much more.My tutor Michelle Benson, was absolutely brilliant. She was kind, thoughtful and very enthusiastic. The 10 hours virtual course was done over two morning and on the second day we got to be a teacher for 5 minutes. This really showed how careful and structured the lesson plan needs to be, it is important to stick to the level of the students and explain everything clearly, but also use the PPP method. The feedback that I have received from both Michelle and my classmates was very helpful. It has given me a great insight as to what teaching really involves.I am looking forward to taking on some more of the add on courses available, which will broaden my knowledge and help me throughout my teaching career.Once again I would like to thank Michelle, she was absolutely brilliant.If anyone is considering the TEFL course, I would 100% recommend it ! :)
Sorcha was very helpful and quick with providing information regarding the course and which one to go for will definitely be signing up to start a new chapter in my life
Michelle was my tutor. I can't recommend her highly enough. She was interested in what we were all doing, I could feel her enthusiasm for teaching and her genuine love of what she does. Because of Michelle, I was able to get great feedback that was constructive and encouraging. Thank you Michelle.
TEFL offer a fantastic service for aspiring English language teachers. Their staff are so helpful and accommodating. They also offer a practical course with Michelle Benson, which goes through practical methodologies, which I found to be a great help.
I've completed my 10 hours virtual teaching methodologies class with Michelle Benson today. Michelle has been a wonderful teacher. She has imparted a lot of knowledge on teaching which will be useful for me once I'm ready to start my teaching career after completing my TEFL courses. Thank you so much for your help and I will definitely practice all that I have learnt in my future teaching career.
Sórcha O’Connell helped me throughout my process of buying the Tefl course, I called to ask about how the whole process works and she was so helpful and was able to answer all my queries about the course and what I wanted to use it for in the future. She also kept in touch with me through email while I was in the process of deciding what course to choose. I would 100% recommend it and Sórcha made the process a lot easier for me too. Great service 😊
