Found the course to be excellent, with staff who were terrific, especially Michelle and Walter. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to teach TEFL. One minor gripe: the platform was slow around 6-7 pm for some reason.

I recently completed the Level 5 180 Hour Diploma with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.The course itself was well-structured, comprehensive, and challenging in the right ways. It covers everything from grammar and lesson planning to teaching methodologies and classroom management. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and the practical focus, which helped me feel more confident about stepping into a classroom — whether in person or online.One thing I really appreciated was the integration of self-assessment activities and multiple-choice questions throughout each module. These were a great way to check my understanding as I went along and made the learning process more interactive and engaging.Another standout aspect of the course was the support from tutors and staff. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, I received prompt and helpful responses. The feedback on assignments was constructive and encouraging, and the platform was easy to navigate.In short, I highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland to anyone looking to get TEFL certified. Whether you're aiming to travel, teach online, or start a new career path, this course is a fantastic first step.

I have taken two courses with TEFL Institute, the TEFL Certificate and the IELTS Preparation course and both were incredibly interesting and very well done. The courses have been extremely useful in my experience as a ESL teacher and would highly recommend the Institute to anyone looking to complete a teaching certification, as they allow the course taker to work at the pace they prefer and in the time that is best suited for them.

Michelle Benson was so good! Very warm and engaging. I learned so much from the course and the content was broken down into simple, easy to understand instructions. It gave me a great insight into practical teaching online.

I had an excellent chat with Elaine Lenane who explained the course details for me and answered any questions that I had with no complaints. She eased my nerves about starting the course and I'm really grateful to her for her kindness and patience.

I spoke to Elaine at the TEFL institute, and I found her really helpful. She walked me through the process of getting a course funded through social welfare, and made the whole process very easy.

Customer Care was fantastic, the horrors of attempting to navigate through all the different TEFL courses on Google was anxiety inducing and nauseating, however stumbling across the TEFL Institute of Ireland and having a chat with staff definitely calmed my nerves a bit. Staff were extremely helpful and were quick to answer my endless amount of questions and in detail. I am hoping to take that leap of faith and use my new diploma abroad and help all learners learn English!

I recently completed the 180-hour TEFL course, delivered entirely online. The course provided a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum covering essential teaching methodologies, lesson planning, and classroom management. The balance between theory and practical assignments helped prepare me for real teaching environments.The online format was user-friendly, with clear explanations, videos, and quizzes that reinforced learning. Instructor support was responsive and helpful throughout. Upon completion, I feel confident and well-equipped to teach English as a foreign language internationally.Overall, this online TEFL course is a valuable and effective program for anyone seeking to start a career in English language teaching.
