Beginning of my course journey,

I attended the online webinar run by Jessica and Olivia and got a lot out of it. It was packed with useful information, especially the clear guidance on what to do going forward. I am still at the beginning of my course journey, but they took the time to answer other people’s concerns too. Such helpful tutors?

Leah NolanApril 2026

Practical guidance on classroom techniques and strategies

I found the content genuinely engaging, and it is laid out in a way that makes everything straightforward to follow. Each module is packed with useful detail and offers plenty of practical guidance on classroom techniques and strategies. When it came to the grammar side of the course, the examples made a huge difference for me and really helped things click. The staff have been great as well, and when I asked to extend my study period, Ola was very accommodating. Overall, it felt like a really worthwhile course and I would be more than happy to recommend it.

Rachel SheaApril 2026

Lot of positive interactions with TEFL

I have had a lot of positive interactions with TEFL, and the most recent one was with Emma. When I went to purchase a 6 month extension for the course I am currently doing, I got an error message. I reached out on the chat and Emma sent me a screenshot, then reassured me that everything had gone through and was all set. Thanks TEFL for consistently being so helpful and so easy to deal with.

Aoife SheaApril 2026

A day and answered everything for me

I needed to switch some dates on one of my courses and had a few questions, but I was not sure who I should reach out to for the right details. Emma Coleman replied within a day and answered everything for me. Her quick response and how ready she was to help really impressed me. I am actually looking forward to finishing my course now.

Katie MurphyMarch 2026

The tutors always got back to me quickly

I had a really positive experience learning on this course. The tutors always got back to me quickly and were very helpful. I studied while working full time, which could be tough at times, but the structure of the course made it manageable. I would definitely recommend it, and I had no problems at all. A special thank you to Orla for the speedy replies and the encouragement.

Amy DunneFebruary 2026

Valuable experience for myself

Keeping up with your professional development matters a lot in teaching, and TEFL Couses are a great way to do that. I found it to be a really valuable experience for myself. Everything is set out clearly, with modules that are thoughtfully put together and logically structured from a methodological point of view. The parts I enjoyed most, and also found the most useful in everyday practice, were the modules on Pronunciation, teaching Productive and Receptive Skills, and Teaching English for Different Purposes.

James QuinnFebruary 2026

Whole experience so enjoyable

Getting in touch with Emma at TEFL was honestly one of my best decisions. After years away from any studying I really did wonder if I was doing the right thing, but the service has been fantastic and the team support is unlimited, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. The course goes into real depth and at the same time gives brilliant, practical advice, which I have loved. A huge thank you to Emma and the team for helping me start this new journey. Dee.

Ryan KeaneJanuary 2026

Can reach out to them

I have to say this online course is brilliant. It is really straightforward to work through, and you are given loads of time to take each module at your own pace. Having a quiz at the end of every module is so useful for going back over what you have just learned. What I liked most was that when you enroll you get assigned a tutor, and you can reach out to them whenever you need to during the course. I would definitely suggest it to anyone thinking about teaching, whether that is here at home or overseas.

Leah MurphyJanuary 2026

Everything was excellent

From the moment it began right through to the end, everything was excellent. The course layout is really clear, and the extra resources are brilliant and easy to bring into your own teaching as you go. Also, a big thank you to Rachel and Jenny for helping out and giving feedback on the assessments!

Joshua ReedOctober 2025

Emily WatsonOctober 2025

Immediately made me want to take part in everything they offer!

My first experience with Premier TEFL—just exploring their website—immediately made me want to take part in everything they offer! I’m currently halfway through the 240-Hour Expert TEFL course, and my goal is to apply for an internship in Colombia around this time next year. The team at Premier TEFL has been incredibly helpful, supportive, and wonderful to work with. I’ve already recommended them to my family and friends, and I’d recommend them to anyone who dreams of traveling the world, gaining valuable teaching experience, and earning money along the way. It’s been such a positive and inspiring journey so far!

James WilsonAugust 2025

Engaging and enriching experience

I took the English for Business course, and I absolutely loved it. The course is very comprehensive and clearly structured, making it easy to follow and understand each concept. What I appreciated most is that it doesn’t just explain the material—it also provides external resources that you can explore to deepen your knowledge and improve your skills. The lessons are practical and applicable, which makes them highly valuable for real-world teaching or business contexts. Overall, it was an engaging and enriching experience, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their English for professional purposes or expand their teaching toolkit.

AlvaroMarch 2024

An enjoyable course overall.

An enjoyable course overall. It was very detailed and covered all the different areas of Teaching English for Exams that I needed. I guess I wish it covered more practical aspects of the actual lessons to teach.

LauraFebruary 2024

I was satisfied with everything.

I was satisfies with everything, materials, value for money, I would sign up for further learning and also suggest it to colleagues.

LoriJanuary 2024

Overall I am satisfied with the course

Overall i am satisfied with the course, i reccomand this course. To be honet the assesment for 60 hours online and one-to-one teaching, i found it more difficult then Business English assesment. Thank you.

YumnaSeptember 2023

Overall, a very professionally constructed course

Overall, a very professionally constructed course, and like all things, it could probably be improved and made more comprehensive, but Rome wasn't built in a day (nor London, nor Hadrian's Wall, nor Dublin, whichever the case may be). It's a very organized course, with much relevant material on its subject matter, and I'm sure as the years go by, your staff and professors will continue to improve it. Its dollar value was difficult to beat. I looked at several TEFL courses, and not only didn't find any on teaching other subjects besides language, but most were more expensive, and probably of comparable quality.
