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 (center number: C000854) and ACDL. Our 180 hour Level 5 TEFL course is regulated by OFQUAL.

Are the certificates included in the price?

All of our accredited courses include a PDF version of the certificate. This is perfect for applying for jobs online or abroad. Sometimes, perhaps for visa reasons, you may need a hardcopy. We have options available, but there is an extra cost for print and postage.

I just finished the 120 hour TEFL course. Well-structured, easy to follow, and exciting lessons. It is a real challenge to learn the modules and then test the knowledge. Helpful team.It was a fantastic feeling for me to achieve the result. I'm really grateful for it.I ve done the 30 hours Online Teaching Course as well. I had many different kinds of help, very useful websites, links, short youtube films etc....I feel more confident myself ...and I cant wait to start my first new online job. One of my friends used to work for an English Language Academy in Spain with this Tefl qualification, and she was really happy with it....and now.. I have also achieved this goal plus I got my online certificate..Thank you so much for it!

Hi everyone! I would like to say a big massive thank you to Michelle! I have done the 10Hour Teaching Course with her and I must say, she is one of the best teachers I've seen lately! The course itself was very enjoyable, profesional and short to complete! The benefits of it and the real teaching practice included are what gets you most to love this course and this profession! Anyone who thinks to try a new career in teaching, I suggest go for this particular course. Doesn't matter with which teacher you will be, they are all so great, helpful and professional. I strongly recomend booking this course and also strongly recommend booking any courses with TEFL Institute of Ireland. You guys, I think you stand out on the market! Thank you all for your support, your guidance, your motivation and your help through the courses!

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 have just recently completed The level 5 180hour course and the 120 hour course. I really enjoyed doing the course. It was really informative and full of wonderful information. I found it really helpful having the zoom meeting every week where I could ask for help or any other information. I really enjoyed the course and I cannot wait to get out into the world and start teaching.

It has been almost six months since I decided to enter the TEFL world by taking the 180 hour regulated TEFL 5 course through the TEFL Institute of Ireland and ... what can I say? This was probably one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. First of all, I would like to emphasize that the course is very dynamic, fun and contains all the necessary information that we should know about the teaching of English as a foreign language. For me this training has been excellent, very bearable (given the flexibility of study they offer) and I really feel that I have learned, being able to apply this knowledge to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language, in which I am also trained.In the same way, the attention that I have received from all the members of the TEFL team has been wonderful, completely spotless; and despite the fact that thousands of kilometers separate me from them (I live in Spain) at no time I have felt alone, but quite the opposite ... I have felt accompanied and cocooned since they were there to help me in everything that I needed. I greatly appreciate my tutor, Rachel and Jacob, the TEFL academic director for the help they have given me and the patience they have had with me throughout my study time, it has been amazing! I cannot end this review without referring to my dear customer support friends Emma, Ola and Kate ... thank you for your help for being there whenever I need it and for having to put up with me! You all are really fantastic! I hope my new professional career in TEFL goes well and I look forward to studying with you again soon! Good luck to all of you and keep it up!

The TEFL Institute of Ireland is amazing.I had a very easy and enjoyable time completing my courses. I initially signed on for just one course, but very quickly added more courses to my repertoire because of how great the platform is. The school is also brilliant as you're provided a great deal of help from tutor and staff with anything you need. It's such an encouraging and empowering place for learning!

The TEFL Institute offer clear, informative and well presented notes. Each module focuses on a different area, and is supplemented with different activities such as Youtube Videos and images to help with learning.Even though the course is done online, they are very easy to get in contact with should you have any issues or questions in relation to what you are studying.They also offer lots of support in the area of finding jobs, and how best to prepare for interviews, and starting a new job in various different countries. They also provide many other resources such as webinars to keep everyone informed of new positions and information available.

This course has given me the confidence to seek for an TEFL job abroad. The platform was easy to use and contained lots of resources, and the modules themselves were information, well-researched and contained thorough bibliographies which enabled me to research further on my own. I would definitely recommend this company.

I have been studying with TEFL.IE for the last couple of months, doing several courses(from an excellent value-for-money package with no less than 5 courses!) . Great customer service, and Emma just proved it again today. I completed and enjoyed the 10hr classroom class last week. It was taught by Kate, whose enthusiasm was contagious and she answered questions with patience and in a friendly manner. The course materials are interesting and well-structured. Very good support from the mentors who answer the questions quickly. So far a very good experience.

I really enjoyed the "30 Hour Teaching Young Learners" course. It is organised in a clear and logical way. Most of all I appreciate the vast number of materials you can get from it with lots of ideas how to have a lesson with (very) young learners and teens. I can honestly say that I recommend taking this course offered by The TEFL Institute of Ireland, especially for the price I got it for. It is definately worthy considering both for someone who only starts his/her teaching career, as well as those already having some experience, but looking for some new ideas or activities to use in their teaching. I've done similar short supplementary courses offered by other providers as well, but this particular one was so far the most comprehensive one.

Bought the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course six months ago while it was on sale. 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 Kate, 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 was always intrigued to the opportunity of teaching English as a foreign language. The TEFL Institute helped me gain the necessary requirements to be able to achieve this and did so in a process which I have to say was pleasing doing. I have completed online courses prior to this and found some of them dull and forceful, although when completing my TEFL course I enjoyed it, I was putting in long hours and taking in lots of information but it felt light. It did not feel I had to force myself, I enjoyed it and it excites me for what is to come with my certificate and experience.

I have just completed the 120 hour Premier TEFL course and I am delighted with my experience. The course was very easy to follow with many extra resources. The course was structured into 10 modules, each focusing on a different aspect of teaching English. This course offers a huge amount of freedom as I could do the modules whenever it suited me, without having to worry about deadlines. There was always someone ready to assist with any queries or problems. I was so happy with the fast and helpful response I received from Emma when I had a question. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Kate H.

I have just completed the 10 hour virtual TEFL course including the teaching practice. This course was excellent and complimented the 180 hour level 5 course, as it put what I had learned into practice. The course was very interactive and Kate our tutor delivered this course at a great pace and made it fun. I learned so much over the two sessions. I would highly recommend this course.

TEFL Institute offers a well organized courses with intersting resources.

I have recently completed the 30 hour IELTS examination preparation course. The course was easy to follow and broke down the IELTS exam in a way that was understandable. I would feel confident in the future teaching this exam class, after some experience teaching non-exam classes first. There was a lot of help available and I am happy I choose to complete it.

Great TEFL course providers. Found their course to be very informative and engaging. I liked the amount of time and freedom the course gave me as it could be completed over the six months at my leisure without the worry of deadlines etc. The help and guidance from the IT support are second to none, they are quick and friendly, and always just the click of a mouse away. One particular time, I found myself close to the end where i felt i needed a course extension, Kate, one of the supports crew, gave me all the information i needed and was very helpful in suggesting the most suitable extension for my needs.All in all i would highly recommend anyone looking to obtain a TEFL certificate to look no further.

I would highly recommend TEFLie.I completed the 120-Hour Premier TEFL Course, the course was very easy to follow and understand and the multiple-choice questions at the end of each module encouraged you to listen and remember important points. I had an opportunity to repeat these questions as many times as needed, to pass and move onto the next module which was very re-assuring.The team are very supportive and always available to answer any queries you have, thanks in particular to Kate Cosgrove who was always available to assist with any queries I had and would respond promptly and efficiently. Thanks also to Ola and Eoghan who were very helpful.I completed the course in 2 weeks and I am currently completing the 30-hour Teaching Online course and plan to complete the 30-Hour Teaching Business English also.Don’t hesitate in choosing TEFL.ie which is internationally recognised and accredited, also great value for money.Orla

I have just completed the 120hr premier TEFL course and I am delighted with my experience! I cannot recommend the course enough for those who wish to gain a knowledge of teaching English. The course includes videos, readings and an abundance of references and links to further research and resources, all clearly structured into 10 modules, each addressing an aspect of teaching English such as grammar and vocabulary to lesson planning and the importance of pronunciation, each with an end of module quiz to ensure your understanding of the topic.Additionally, there are frequent webinars available to attend for those wishing to hear from people, first hand, how they used their TEFL qualification. The customer service team are impeccable, particularly Kate who was on hand to help and assist with any questions through the course.

Throughout my time doing the Level 5 TEFL Course with the The Institute of Ireland, I found them to be very courteous and professional, with great consideration and time taken to making sure that any conerns I had along the way were listened to and dealt with by the aproprotiate member of the Team there. This was even more impressive when you consider that because of the current circumstances we are all in, Day to Day operations had to change dramtically from when I first enrolled, yet the quality and level of support was still maintained. I would like to thank Ola and Kate on the Office side most sincerely for looking after any queries I had over the duration of my Course as I am aware of the challanges they have currently and to Jacob, Martin, and Rachel on the Academic side for their support, encouragement, and guidance when needed. Finally, I am very proud to now have my Qualification and be a member of this Institute's Alumni.

I won the 30 hour course teaching young learners last April on the T.E.F.L.ie Facebook page. I was thrilled to start the modules. They were very clear and organised step by step to help and keep you motivated throughout the course. I had a tutor who replied to my questions instantly online.. I was so delighted with the course that I purchased the 120 hour premier T.E.F.L course in May, which also had included a 30 hour advanced grammar for English teachers, such excellent value*Unfortunately I couldn't finish the 30 hour course teaching young learners as my boyfriend was hospitalised, seriously ill for several months and I was by his side. I also had an operation so I had to put T.E.F.L on hold for a long time.I had been feeling better recently & decided to finish the courses.. To my surprise the dates had expired to finish the courses.. I was upset and emailed the T.E.F.L institute explaining what had happened.. Ola Flynn who works for T.E.F.L .ie kindly replied to me saying they would give me another 6 months no problem to complete the courses free of charge.. I am amazed.I would like to thank you and your team for understanding and giving me another chance. I am very grateful and happy to get back to the T.E.F.L courses..Customer service is excellent♡ I will be purchasing more courses in the near future.

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.

Moving to Japan in a few months to teach English, had no idea where to even begin when designing lessons or finding a job. The 120hr course has been really beneficial and I feel much more confident in my teaching abilities

I highly recommend the 10 hour classroom with Michelle. The class really prepares you for going into a classroom environment, how to be interactive with the class and provides excellent ideas for lesson plans. Its very well presented, the instructor is fantastic.

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.

04:16 21 Apr 19

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. I was hesitant in the beginning as I had never undertaken an online course before but can say now that I could not be happier with my choice!

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.

Joey D.

17:09 23 Mar 19

Their courses are very well organised and packed with lots of relevant information. Their deals and specials are a great way to get started and are well worth the money spent. Now on to the next course I have with them.

I completed the 120hour online course and I couldn't recommend it enough. The course allowed me to continue working full time as well as completing the course over a 6 month period. The course is laid out in such a way that aided my learning and also made it enjoyable.
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.

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!)

I was hesitant to take on an online course for the first time but I can honestly say I am glad that I did. 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.

Alexandra B.

18:00 14 Feb 18

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

Dáithí B.

17:14 24 Jan 18

I have just recently finished the 30 hour IELTS Preparation course and I must say it was very structured with everything that I needed to know over the subject. It is organized and extremely well put to have a clear understanding of it.
