The main qualifications to get a TEFL is to have the ability to speak English at a native level and then complete a course. You can complete a TEFL course either online or in a classroom.

TESOL – “Teaching English as a Second Language”, aka TESL. Similar to TESOL students, as a TESL teacher, you would likely be teaching English in your home country to students who have moved or live in an English-speaking country. In other words, they are continuously surrounded by the language and will be using it every day outside of the classroom, unlike TEFL students who are likely learning in their home country.

CELTA stands for “Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults” and is a prestigious certification. To receive a CELTA, you must complete a 120-hour course along with six hours of teaching real ESL students. The majority of the programs are held over one-month and are full-time.

Which TEFL course to take?

Confused about which TEFL course to enrol in? Don’t worry, as long as you can speak English at a fluent or near-fluent level, then you are eligible to take one of the TEFL Institute of Ireland’s regulated TEFL courses.

Non-native speakers sometimes find the Ofqual Regulated Level 5 TEFL course quite challenging, and we understand it is essential for you to be sure that you are comfortable with your English language abilities before choosing which course to take. As a guide, we recommend that non-native speakers have a minimum IELTS 6.5 score. If you are unsure, you should take our FREE online level test below

Complete The TEFL Institute of Ireland’s FREE English Level Test, which has been designed to assist you with making this important decision. If you have any doubts, request a call, and we can discuss which course would suit your needs.

Do I need a Bachelor’s degree to take a TEFL course?

The great news is that you don’t need a degree to take a TEFL course! This is a common worry. Anyone with fluent English can enrol in one of our courses to become a qualified and confident English teacher.

It’s good to know that a degree is required in some countries to get a work permit, such as Japan and Korea, but there are many opportunities for those without a degree to be hired.

Even if you see an employer preference for degree holders, I still recommend applying as they may not get their full quota, and you may have many additional skills that will appeal to hiring managers.

What’s the difference between Accredited TEFL Courses vs Government Regulated Level 5 TEFL Courses?

Lots of people ask about the difference between our courses. For example, the 120-hour Premier TEFL course is what we would call one of our fast-track courses. This is the minimum recognised worldwide.

• You have 10 modules to complete, usually taking 4 – 6 weeks

• Each module has a multiple-choice test at the end, and you need 80% to pass

• You’ll get your digital certificate on completion and can buy a hard copy from us if you’d like one with an embossed logo immediately

Looking at the 180 Hour level 5 Ofqual-regulated TEFL course by comparison:

• Learners typically spend 10 – 12 weeks to complete the 11 modules

• Since it’s a UK government-regulated level 5 course, the pass mark is 100%, and assessments are multiple-choice plus open-ended answers. Don’t worry, you can re-attempt quizzes in order to get 100%. Our academic team will review your answers at the end of your 11 modules and may ask for some questions to be reattempted (absolutely normal). Some questions may require providing Academic references.

• You’ll get your digital coursework completion certificate from us after module 11. Following a successful assessment from our academic team, we’ll be able to claim the licence for your Ofqual (government) certificate from our accreditation body, Highfield.

The Ofqual-regulated course range is certainly for those people who want to gain a higher-level, more recognised qualification.

Read our blog to learn more about the Level 5 TEFL course here.

What are the benefits of completing a Level 5 TEFL Course?

If you are looking for a professional, globally recognised Government Regulated TEFL qualification; you should consider the online level 5 TEFL course. The Government Regulated Level 5 TEFL course is the same level as CELTA and Trinity Cert TESOL. Ofqual government-regulated (UK) Level 5 Highfield qualification.

The course has 180 hours of TEFL training, more than the minimum required, and it’s a higher standard course and, therefore, is more competitive.

What’s the age restriction to take a TEFL course?

There is none, really, we usually say that if you are over 16yrs old, you can start completing a TEFL course. If you are looking for jobs abroad, the minimum age requirement is 18 yrs old or higher.

Who are the ACDL?

The TEFL Institute is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Distance Learning (ACDL), an accreditation body specialising in distance learning courses. Thus our accreditation by ACDL reflects the high-quality distance learning offered by the TEFL institute.

ACDL – Accreditation number: 2854-2540

To learn more, visit their website: ACDL

What's Ofqual stand for?

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation.
Regulation (Ofqual) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England and vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland.

 

Am I too old to teach English abroad?

You are never too old to gain new qualifications. Some employers might have age restrictions, but others won’t. There are always options to teach English from home, private tutor, and online tutor.

Do I need to speak another language to teach English abroad?

No, it is not necessary to know other languages. You can find a job and work comfortably without knowing the language spoken in that country. The real question is, should you try to learn a foreign language? The basic language is always a plus, and we recommend learning a few phrases before you move abroad. Learn to say Hi, Thank you, Goodbye, and Sorry. You’ll survive if you can order a meal and pay for that meal without automatically handing over the biggest bill in your wallet (whilst looking adorably confused).

Which course to take if I only would like to focus on teaching English online?

If online teaching is your primary goal, we recommend at least the 180 Hour TEFL training. If you would like to specialise in specific categories, you can upper your qualifications by adding 30 hour specialist courses such as:

• Teaching Young Learners

• Teaching Business English

• Preparation for IELTS Exam

• Preparation for TOEIC Exam

And, of course, adding our 30 hours Teaching English Online course is a huge benefit as it focuses on preparing you (the teacher) on how to enter the online tutoring world.

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 😊

I can't say enough good things about this course. There is a huge amount of support provided for all stages: before, during and after. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and care a lot about their students succeeding both during and after their course. I'd also like to make a special mention of Sorcha O'Connell, whom I called before finally deciding to purchase and start the course. She was very helpful and thorough in providing me all the information I needed to decide on a course; I recommend speaking to her if you have any questions before you get started!

This course has helped me with my placement of work and I have gained great knowledge from this course. It was a great pleasure to work around and complete my assessments. All the team are very helpful and I would highly recommend if you would like to teach to take this course on board.
