The TEFL Institute
Start teaching English online & abroad
If you are looking to change your career or embark on a new adventure then TEFL is perfect for you. Choose between a wide variety of TEFL courses to start your TEFL journey today with the TEFL Institute!
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.

Verified Student Reviews
Testimonials from students who have taken courses through The Institute and found success teaching English online or abroad.
Absolutely fantastic course, Chloe was amazing and helped me with any issue I had during my 60hr Level 5 course, would 10/10 reccomend this company to anyone
I cannot recommend The TEFL Institute of Ireland enough for anyone interested in entering the world of English language teaching . The courses are accessible, easy to follow, convey exactly what is necessary, and highly varied, allowing anyone to find their speciality in this field .On par with this however, the institution is exceptionally helpful, patient, and has plenty of useful advice should issues arise during study or job searching. Jessica in particular has been indispensable in my own endeavours.
I recently completed the 180-hr TEFL Diploma + 30-hr Business English module. Throughout the course I regularly sought advice, receiving superb support from Laura Graham. Towards the end of the Diploma, I made contact with Jessica Jeffery, who gave me expert guidance on preparing to teach TEFL. Whatever question I posed, she provided answers and solutions. These TEFL support people were at all times very friendly, ever-helpful, and all in quick response time. A warm and personal touch!
Overall, I enjoyed and was determined to gain my TEFL Certificate. I liked learning about the different ways of learning English in person and online, learning about different types of ways to teach students like using realia, for example ,and learning about how to write lesson plans. Initially, I found learning to write the lesson plans annoying and irritating, but eventually, I found that to be one of the most rewarding parts of the course. Being able to write a lesson plan helps one go in with a plan to help guide and teach students the English language. I see the emphasis on learning to write lesson plans during the course to be a very insightful idea on the part of TEFL Institute of Ireland. It builds confidence, gives one an idea on how to conduct a lesson, and builds a foundation on which to start from.The cons I had with the TEFL Institute of Ireland is that there were either spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes, certain lessons could not be confirmed to be completed because the arrow button was grayed out, and lastly, the assessments take way too long to complete because there were about 20 - 30 questions in one assessment and they were all open-ended. I think that they could have chosen for students to have half the number of assessment questions (10 - 15 questions) or could have made some of them multiple choice.Mr. John Curry spoke to me in the beginning when I was getting ready to start the TEFL Certification course and the recommendations he gave to me were helpful. Also, during the "How to change your career in 2026 with TEFL Certification" Zoom Webinar, Mr. Curry's explanation of his experience and the job related information was confidence-building and encouraging.I am grateful for the benefits I have received from being receiving my TEFL Certification from the TEFL Institute of Ireland.
I have just finished the 10 hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies course. The course was excellent very informative, and I learned great strategies to use in the classroom. Michelle Benson was an excellent instructor, as she has a bubbly personality and a wealth of experience in the area. Michelle kept all the students engaged through interactive classes over the two days while maintaining a fun and relaxed learning environment. I would not hesitate to recommend this course!
Great learning experience, especially enjoyed the 10 teaching practice with Michelle Benson. She was very motivating and experienced and made the class feel at ease.
It was not bad! I passed two courses and some links I couldn't open I ve let to know the teacher and still waiting for the answer. Some information I knew, some of I discovered. Hope, next courses will be interesting too.
