Informative material and supportive staff

July 28, 2026by: Veronica S. - United States

Premier TEFL offers a solid 300-hr course and the lessons are very educational—I went from knowing hardly anything about teaching language to feeling like I could actually organize English lessons someday. And I did indeed land a job while I was still working on my TEFL certificate to teach Spanish, because some of the principles of teaching English generalize to teaching other languages. One thing that really makes this TEFL program stand out is the amount of support you get. Anytime you have questions or doubts, you can e-mail the staff and they are very responsive. The tutors, Anya and Laura, are available once a week for a live Zoom session, but you can e-mail them anytime and they will answer all your questions, and if they don't have an answer, they will direct you to another staff member who does. The support staff, like Olivia and Lisa, are also very helpful for your course needs and even check in to see how you're doing. Overall, I was very pleased with the value of this course and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to teach English.

Kick off a new professional journey

I was so excited to kick off a new professional journey. Taking the Level 5 TELF Certificate ended up being a really great experience for me, because I could learn a lot of new things at my own pace. Over the 6 months I had to complete it, I received brilliant support from other peers on Discord, along with tutor support from Laura and Rachel. I would recommend this to everyone!

The course is definitely challenging

I have just started the 300 hour Level 5 Advanced TEFL Diploma and it has already been a really rewarding experience. Signing up was straightforward thanks to Tracy, who helped everything run smoothly, especially when there were payment problems and I nearly missed out on the discount. The course is definitely challenging, but so far the whole process has felt easy to manage.

Keeps me inspired and makes the whole experience fun

Even before I signed up for the 300hr course, right from that first contact, everyone on the TEFL team has been nothing but encouraging and helpful. I am working through the 180hr course at the moment and the level of content and quality is really impressive. Whenever I need it, the tutors respond quickly with genuinely useful, individual feedback, and they set such a great example, which keeps me inspired and makes the whole experience fun. Thanks so much to you all!

I have only just finished the Level 5 180 hour course along with the 120 hour course. I have genuinely loved taking part in it. There was so much useful information in there, and I learned a lot the whole way through. The weekly Zoom meeting made a big difference for me because it gave me a chance to ask questions and get support whenever I needed it. I have had such a great experience with the course, and now I am so excited to get out there and begin teaching.

There was a great mix across the modules

I’ve just finished the Level 5 TEFL Diploma and I genuinely loved every part of it. There was a great mix across the modules, and everything was explained in a really straightforward way. The quizzes made it easy to go back over what I’d learned, and the assessments were marked to a high standard, which really shows how good the course is. Support was exceptional throughout, with friendly staff who were always quick to reply and couldn’t have been more helpful whenever I had a question. Thanks so much to the whole team, and a special thank you to Rachel for all the support.

Stepped in with brilliant guidance

I had been browsing online courses for ages and just could not pin down which one was the right fit for what I needed. Then Killian Bukulin stepped in with brilliant guidance and help through the chat feature, emails, and even direct phone calls, and that finally made my choice clear. Now I am so excited to begin my 300-Hour Level 5 Advanced TEFL Diploma Course!

I decided to enroll in the TEFL program, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After completing the rigorous yet incredibly useful online course, I gained valuable hands-on experience working with both teens and adults at different English proficiency levels.The experience helped me learn how to connect with various age groups, develop my own teaching style, and build confidence in leading lessons. It also confirmed my passion for teaching and inspired me to continue pursuing it as a career. I’m so thankful to have discovered Premier TEFL—the entire journey was enjoyable, educational, and truly rewarding. I never imagined earning my TEFL certification could be this much fun!

I’m feeling more positive and confident.

I am really enjoying my Premier TEFL Level 5 Diploma Course! The course is comprehensive, in-depth, and easy to follow. Each module is structured step-by-step, starting with language grammar and reliable teaching methodology. The course activities reinforce learning, and the assessments can be attempted in multiple sittings, which encourages me to research and explore specific topics without feeling rushed. The course also includes valuable lessons on lesson planning and classroom engagement strategies, which are particularly useful. As the course progresses, I’m feeling more positive and confident. Instead of feeling apprehensive, I now can’t wait to begin my teaching career. I highly recommend Premier TEFL to anyone considering a career in teaching English as a foreign language.

My instructor was incredibly helpful

I learned SO much during my TEFL Level 5 course. I'm currently in two graduate programs, and the information I gained from the course was not only helpful but also referenced in my teaching courses. This really solidified the quality of PremierTEFL. If you haven't done work in a while, they send check-in emails to make sure everything is going well, which I really appreciated. The practicum was invaluable—it gave me hands-on experience in creating and implementing a lesson plan. My instructor was incredibly helpful, offering advice and tips that made preparing to TEFL in another country much easier. A HUGE thank you to the Premier TEFL team for offering such fantastic courses. I’m excited to complete my other ones!

I really enjoyed the links and extra articles.

In general, I enjoyed taking this course. It gives us a good background to teach lessons. I really enjoyed the links and extra articles. The Job Coaching Seminar is very good as well, we had the opportunity to ask questions and the links shared during the meeting are helpful.

Excellent courses. I have learned many new things to help me to be a better teacher. As soon as I posted my certificate of completion digitally on an online platform I teach on, I have been busier teaching more online classes.

I would like to do another as it is always good to gain new techniques.

Overall the course was very good, I would like to do another as it is always good to gain new techniques. I have a lot of people that speak English well but want to improve speaking, I find this very challenging and would like to do a course that focuses on higher level English development, which was the main reason I chose the course.

Mostly, I learned how much teaching, culture and community go hand-in-hand, which is something I appreciate. I learned that it's never too late to learn something new, to grow, and make a difference. I can truly make a profession out of this and I'm confident I'll do it well! when thinking about TEFL, Premier TEFL is an apt choice.
