Great 180 hr core TEFL course
January 13, 2026by: Emma SHARP - United KingdomProgram: The TEFL Institute Accredited, Government-Regulated Courses
Easy to navigate the online course which supported a lot of relevant learning, with quality instruction and materials. There was also a good variety in the exercises which maintained engagement. Overall, the core 180 hr TEFL module was detailed and well-resourced, and I benefitted a lot from doing it. Excellent and quick tutor feedback times too. I am currently doing the 60 hr Business English module which I feel lacks the care and detail of the core TEFL module and replicates a lot of its content, in less detail. There may be an opportunity to either add more Business English content and less duplication - or make it into a 30 hr / 40 hr module and refer the learner to the relevant parts of the TEFL 180 hr course for the duplicative aspects (PPP and Skills-based lesson plans). Tonight`s Job Coaching webinar (with Emos) provided some tips and links to what I hope will be valuable resources (CV templates, reference books etc). Many students also needed concrete advice on visa, technology, tax and TEFL organisation structure and contact people, as four examples. I think more concrete replies to these questions, or to point students to more specific follow-up resources, could improve those aspects of the session.
Webinar from Emos on career coaching - thanks for the great information
January 13, 2026by: Deirdre O'Carroll - IrelandProgram: The TEFL Institute Accredited, Government-Regulated Courses
Thanks to Emos for a great career coaching webinar. It was interesting to hear about the experiences of different learners and to have the opportunity to ask specific questions. Looking forward to the next career coaching webinar already thanks.
Somewhat disorganized coaching session
January 13, 2026by: Rhys Maclean - United StatesProgram: The TEFL Institute Accredited, Government-Regulated Courses
I participated on the job coaching seminar to get helpful tips on resume tweaking, demo videos, and interview prep. While Emos covered all of these topics, I found it distracting and frustrating to listen to a bunch of unrelated questions specific to an individual situation in the middle of the presentation. It would have been better to save all questions to the end

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I had actually never heard of the industry until 2016. I learned of the ESL world through my sister, who is one of our academic tutors and runs the 10 hour Virtual TEFL Course. She has been an ESL teacher for years! After I had arrived home from travel, it was Kate who introduced me to the company and the industry. I instantly fell in love with the concept and even did a bit of teaching myself in between in France! I didn't stay away for long though, but the TEFL Institute is an amazing place to work - as cringe as that may sound!

I decided to pursue an online program because I wanted to get qualified as a TEFL teacher while also doing my degree program. I needed the flexibility of an online program and knew I would only be able to juggle one in-person classroom—college!
