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 will first need to complete a TEFL course and gain the qualification. TEFL is widely used to either teach English online in one-to-one or small group scenarios or to teach English abroad and sometimes even used as an easier way to travel.

WHO CAN DO A TEFL COURSE?

First and foremost, an aspiring TEFL teacher must be outgoing and confident, and not afraid to make themselves look a little silly, especially when teaching children. Expression is a huge part of the methodologies to be able to get your point across. You’ll warm up to this in time and it all takes practice. We suggest people to be at least 16 with a C1 level of English or higher. If you’re not sure, we have a free English test. We also would recommend people who work on their own initiative as it is an online course and you will need to be your own motivation.

WHAT DO I NEED TO TEACH ONLINE?

If you have no experience in teaching online, a good idea is to get some teaching practice in as they may ask for “experience” hours, which are unpaid. You can alternatively complete our 10 hour Methodologies course, which has a section focused on teaching English online. Most online companies will ask for your TEFL certificate, teaching practice, to have accessibility to good WiFi, a laptop or other computer devices, and headphones. Some online companies may ask their teachers to also have a Bachelor’s Degree. This is evident in Chinese online companies, as it is a government regulation (no matter where you are currently living).

HOW ARE THE COURSES LAID OUT?

Our courses are filled with course content, videos, podcasts, reflective tasks, and tests. They are online courses and can be completed in your own time and from home. Our specialist courses are much shorter than the main TEFL qualifications. They are all completed online and in your own time. All tests are done online and corrected instantly. They have course content and tests throughout the course. They can be completed before or after the main TEFL qualification.

ARE THE COURSES ACCREDITED?

The TEFL Institute is fully accredited by the TQUK (centre number: C000854) and ACDL. Our 180 hour Level 5 TEFL course is regulated by OFQUAL.

IS THIS COURSE COMPLETELY ONLINE? HOW FLEXIBLE IS THIS COURSE?

All courses are all done online and no travelling is required for the tests. Except for the 10 hour Virtual training, you can log on at any time. This is to ensure our TEFL courses can be done while working or other studies. There is a 6 month deadline to the courses, but you can contact us for extensions.

Test your english

If you want to teach English for a living, you need to know the language fluently. The TEFL Institute is about delivering the highest standard of TEFL training possible so that you can teach English abroad with confidence. Therefore, mastering the grammar of the language is vital to succeeding in teaching English as a foreign language. This 30-hour Advanced Grammar Course will make you a grammatical master.
Grammar can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Understanding the use of noun, verbs, adverbs and adjectives will help you to be able to teach your students how to read and write better. You might be a native English speaker and are very confident of your grasp of the rules of the language, but are you confident enough to teach it? Do you remember everything you were taught when you were a student so that when you are asked a grammatical question, you will be able to answer correctly?
This 30-hour course will give you the grammar refresher you need, including word and sentence formation and different tenses. It will make you a better English teacher and you may surprise yourself and learn a thing or two.

Advanced Grammar for English Teachers

1-2

Modules One-Two:

Module One: How are Words Formed?

Do you ever think about how words, or parts of words can be joined together to change the meaning or to make brand new words. Learn how words enter the English language and how they change over time so that you can share this knowledge with your students.

Module Two: How to Arrange Words into Sentences

Did you know that there are around 171,000 words in the English language? Don’t worry, you’ll only be asked to teach a few hundred of those! In this module, you will learn about building words into sentences and be ready to help students to create their own grammatically correct statements, whether they are simple, compound or complex.

3-4

Modules Three-Four:

Module Three: Time to Talk Tenses

Were you taught that there were three tenses: Past, Present and Future? Would it surprise you to know that there are in fact 12 (or 13, depending on who you ask) tenses in the English language? Spend time getting to grips with this valuable aspect of language teaching skill. Your future-teacher-self (and students) will thank you for it.

Module Four: How to Teach Advanced Grammar

Many entry level TEFL jobs want you to focus on conversational English teaching. This is a great way to get first-time experience as a teacher and it usually means less time spent on grammatical theory. But, there will come a time when you want to boost your earning power and be hired to know your present continuous from your present simple tense. And, be able to explain it well to students. By the end of this module you will be confident in your grammar teaching skills plus have access to a long list of ready-to-roll activities for your grammar classes.

After being recommend by many friends and hearing great things about these courses on social media, I purchased the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course and I received a free 30 hour Grammar course also.So far I am thoroughly enjoying the course. The content is displayed very well on the website / app, which are easy to access and I can complete the content at a time that suits me. The TEFL team have been extremely helpful and have been quick to solve any issues or answer any queries that I have had.

I'm currently working on the level 5 180 hr TEFL course and the 30 hr advanced grammar course. It has been really interesting studying these courses and they make me feel excited for when I can work as a TEFL teacher. The content is detailed but simple to understand. As I am working through the material, I increasingly feel more confident for when I am qualified to work. I would definitely recommend looking at the courses available as there is a lot of support both during and after the course.

In my opinion the TEFL Institute of Ireland's 30 hour Teaching Young Learners course is one of the best online EFL specialist courses available for anyone who aspires to broaden their knowledge of TEYL. I found the course material to be highly in-depth whilst simultaneously offering a wealth of practical suggestions for effective classroom management. As far as I am concerned it ticks all of the necessary boxes required for a 5 star review. Kind Regards, Cathal O Loingsigh.

The team at TEFL are amazing and so helpful, in particular a lovely woman, Emma, in customer support who helped me this morning with a query. They are so easy to communicate with and always on hand for any questions! I'm currently studying my second TEFL course and could not recommend them enough!

Fiona O.

10:31 01 Apr 21

I am so so glad I chose this company to start my TEFL career! I've only just started my 370 hours of coursework and I'm loving it so much already. Any time I had a query, no matter how big or small, I've always got through to someone who can help me out really quickly. Any issues/queries have been resolved/answered really clearly and efficiently. I had account access issues last week and Emma sorted me out so quickly, which is obviously important if you're trying to get through coursework! Everyone I've spoken to on the team so far has been amazing to deal with, and all of them have been really friendly and helpful while remaining professional at the same time.

I had an amazing experience completing my TEFL certificate with the TEFL institute of Ireland. Everybody I was in contact with was very helpful and communicative when responding to queries I had about the course and throughout the time it took me to complete it. The team also put on free webinars to help those completing courses begin to think about next steps for teaching. Ella also personally followed up with me after completing the course to ensure I was happy with my experience, which I was very grateful for. Would highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland if you are looking to complete a TEFL certificate!

So far I have found the course's content extremely beneficial and relevant for a career in teaching English, both in the classroom and online, and I feel much more confident in my ability to provide a first class teaching experience to my prospective students. On top of that the support I have gotten from Tefl's customer support team has been excellent, in particular from Emma, who provided detailed answers to my queries in a timely manner. All in all I would recommend this course to anyone looking into a career in teaching English. You won't regret it!

I joined this Institute a few months ago in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lock-down restrictions and I was worried that due to these conditions I would find it difficult, but I was completely wrong. The communication and customer service were absolutely amazing! Throughout the programme there was a few times I needed to ask questions and I was answered straight away. I talked with Kate and Emma on different occasions and they were both so helpful!

Ordered a Hard Copy certificate and there was a delay in getting it posted out, was unable to reach anyone by phone or email which I am accounting to the fact of COVID Lockdown and no one being in the office. Once I jumped on Chat, Kate was very helpful and able to update me on the status of my order right away. Only gave 4 stars due to the difficulty in contacting them by phone and email, chat function works great though so use that first if you have any issues.

There are on-line webinars about teaching on-line, interviews etc. and there is a student alumni.I had a very positive experience studying with them.

I enrolled in the 120 hour TEFL course at the TEFL institute of Ireland and my experience was nothing short of great. Firstly, the price offered was competitive with other institutes and for a degree that lasts a lifetime was great value. The course itself and the interface where you learn is well designed and easy to navigate. As for the content itself I found the TEFL institute Ireland to be very competent in their delivery of modules and as a result I feel confident in my ability to apply the skills I have learned in a teaching role. I would also like to show my appreciation for Kate Cosgrave at the TEFL institute who's assistance throughout the whole process was excellent and helped my studies greatly. I look forward to using the skills I have gained at the TEFL institute of Ireland in the near future.

I had to ask to reschedule the start date of my course twice due to circumstances and both Eoghan & Kate P could not have been more helpful. I know was a big ask and must have been a huge inconvenience for them but they were very understanding and efficient in dealing with my this issue and kindly allowed me to postpone my start day.Thank you guys for this, I really appreciate it!

I signed up for the 10 hour Virtual Training course at the last minute, and I'm glad I did! Both tutors Michelle and Kate were very inspiring. They were extremely helpful and supportive. In fact, just watching how they handled the course itself gave me ideas to apply in the virtual classroom.

Having spent the last few months completing the 180 hour level 5 TEFL Certificate online, it was great to get that collaborative experience and added boost in confidence, while practicing teaching skills online. It was also brilliant to get feedback from tutors and other participants.

Well worth it!

The 120 hour Premier TEFL Qualification is a bargain! It is very thorough and relevant in its content. Being new to teaching, its brought me up to speed in a relatively short time. It includes history of teachings styles and their applications and efficacy. Also it is absolutely packed with examples and engaging tasks. I recommend this course to any beginners like me.

Charlie G.

14:33 06 Jul 20

I would really recommend the TEFL course to anyone that wishes to travel as it opens up a lot of doors and there is a variety of courses to choose from depending on how much time you have to complete it! I chose the 120 hour Tefl course as I’m a full time student and this one suited me best! You can always contact someone from the Tefl institute and they’re always great help! 10/10!!

Vicky E.

14:27 28 Jun 20

At first I was not really sure if this was for me. I thought I may find it difficult to take on something totally new to me, as I am an elderly student. I also had some health issues at the beginning of my course. I need not have worried. From the very first contact I had with TEFL everything was absolutely wonderful. I had an absolutely brilliant experience. The staff helping me to do the 120 TEFL course were the most helpful and understanding people I could have wished for. All and any questions I had were answered and solved in no time at all. Every time. There seems to be someone available to help on the other end of a telephone at almost any time of day. The course itself is so very easy to follow and since I downloaded the app it makes it even easier to use and to access my course from anywhere, anytime on my phone. This was so helpful to me as I could not always access my computer.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Learning to teach English with TEFL is a robust 10, no doubt about it.
If you are considering a course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, I say go ahead. Don't hesitate! You will not just learn to better use your own language. You will open up a whole new world of opportunities you never thought were possible.
Thank you TEFL . . .

I could not recommend this company enough. I signed up for the 5 month internship in Vietnam and headed off in January 2020. Unfortunately I didn’t get to teach for long due to coronavirus and schools closing, but the support I received from tefl.ie was invaluable. They kept in touch making sure I was ok and were only a phone call or email away if I needed anything. Unfortunately I’ve returned home early but will definitely be completing more courses with this company and recommending this internship to everyone ❤️

I attended the TEFL 10 hour course today at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Cork . I cannot praise our teacher Michelle enough. She was an amazing teacher who with her ice breakers got us to relax, mix and most importantly enjoy the course. Michelle is a superb teacher who has a bubbly, friendly and enthusiastic personality and is passionate about teaching. It was also lovely to meet Emma and Roisin, 2 of the girls who worked in the TEFL office.They too were great fun. The group bonded well due to Michelle's attitude and we laughed our way through the day. We worked in pairs and also in small groups. Towards the end of the day all of the students took part in an exercise to show what teaching skills they had developed . I must say that the day flew by. I would highly recommend the 10 hour course as it gives you such an inside into what real teaching is like in a classroom. Thank you Michelle for a fabulous day.

I would 100% recommend the 10 hour classroom course to anyone in the future. Michelle was super informative and as we went through all the material for the course, I found that all the group activities were enjoyable throughout the day while learning at the same time!! Looking forward to getting the opportunity now to travel abroad while having the experience to teach English to students😀😀

I recently completed the 120 hour Advanced TEFL Qualification. I would certainly recommend this course as it was extremely simple to follow, and if you dedicate enough time to the course, you will be able to complete the course in less than 120 hours.

I had completed a 300hr TEFL course and it was absolutely worth it. Staff are super helpful and do their best with any question queries during and after you finish your course.
Currently, I had applied for a TEFL teaching position and received a response from Emma, the recruitment manager within a couple of hours. She was extremely helpful and encouraging which made the application process easy. Emma had listed all documents required and once I had forwarded them to her, she had sent off my application within a few hours. I was very impressed with how helpful, positive, fast and eager she was to get my application to the client but also her prompt replies and dedication in getting me placed as a TEFL teacher.
I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in becoming a TEFL teacher to take on a course with The TEFL Institute of Ireland as the courses are very interesting and set in a way to give you a clear understanding of each module. Staff are very friendly, dedicated and do their best to get you where you want to be.

I've been a teacher for several years in Korea and when I came across the TEFL Institute of Ireland's Master Course, I had to do it! I decided to pick the 300 hour program to get the best results in my teaching. TEFL Institute of Ireland has a really good course and even though I've taught for so many years, I have learned a great deal. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced, I would recommend you do this course. And best of luck for those who are completing their courses.

Kat K.

I am so glad to have signed up to this TEFL course, I chose the 120 hour option and have found it to be fantastic! Everything is so clearly laid out for you and easy to understand.

When I first started considering a tefl course I wasn’t sure which course was right for me and who to get my accreditation with. However with the consistent support and guidance of the Tefl institute of Ireland staff having chosen to do the 120 hour course with them I am confident I made the right choice. The course is jam packed but very well structured making the learning process both accessible and enjoyable!

Aisling S.

22:21 26 Mar 19

Very impressed with the day course I attended in Cork! The teacher was very helpful, good sense of humour and brilliant at explaining concepts. Had a good group of people and felt like I learned a lot! Came as a beginner and it was a great introduction to the world of teaching English as a foreign language.

The institute itself is wonderful- I've had many questions which have been answered quickly and there is always someone to help guide you in picking which course to choose.

The 180 hr Advanced Level 5 TEFL suited me so well alongside my current university studies and at times complemented them in terms of critical thinking and resource management.
It encouraged high standards and focused on exploring the ways of improving class cohesion and suitability to plans for different students.
It also had some really insightful podcasts and interactive videos that round out learning, overall extremely helpful and flexible.

I have done the 120 hour online and then on 22 Sep I did the 10 hour practical workshop in Dublin. Was really concerned that it started at 9:30 and finished at 7pm that I would be bored and fall asleep.

From the outset Michelle (perma smile), Kate and Katie kept the pace going, engaged us all in a great day of practical learning and good fun. It flew and my goals were fully achieved as after the 120 hour I felt good about the content but needed practical help and some experience. There were 12 of us and it was really a good and and a great group of people. Made a show of myself a few times.

Thanks again ladies and and look forward to working with you in the future.

I really enjoyed the online 120 Advanced course very well structured, coherent and consistent. The modules layout flowed well and contained applicable information essential for self-educating oneself.

Having finished a degree in theology, I struggled to find work. I came across TEFL Institute of Ireland which was offering a great deal for its 120hr online course. It is clear, accessible, flexible and engaging. I am so grateful to have found it as it has opened doors for me to find work, not only in Ireland, but in interesting and exciting places around the world! I recommend it to anyone who wishes to expand their skills in a practical and manageable way (and for those thirsty for adventure!)

Having seen my friends take the course and knowing of their success my curiosity grew, I drove to the office in Youghal and talked with the staff there who are beyond fantastic.

I am doing the 120 hour course and find it to be laid out very well with well presented information. The support from the institute is very good. I also love the flexibility that doing an online course gives me. Would recommend TEFL to anyone looking to take on an exciting new challenge

So happy to have finished TEFL 120 course, it showed me how much can be done in a classroom to make teaching not only fun but more informative for everyone involved. Also the online resources and book recommendations are beneficial for how and where to start when it comes to entering the classroom for the first time.

Yesterday, monday march the 12th, I completed my 120 h advanced TEFL courses. Those online courses are well designed and very useful. I've learnt a lot about the methodology, the materials ans the content ! I just hope that not being a native English speaker (french citizenship) won't be an obstacle to find a teaching job of English abroad.

Just completed the 120 hour TEFL component of a 240 Hour Master Class. Modules were informative; well structured and very educational. I learned a lot and have a greater appreciation of written and spoken languages and linguistics. The Great advantage of this system is one can do the training in your own time and start back into a module wherever you left/logged off. The browser, at least in my experience, was initially difficult to navigate. Compatibility was best by accessing the TEFL site using Google Chrome rather that Internet Explorer
