Helpful Support When I Needed It

I am truly grateful I had the chance to complete the 120 hour course with TEFL. It turned out to be a rewarding and worthwhile experience. Each module feels thoughtfully put together and clearly organized. There are so many engaging approaches to teaching English to different age groups, plus useful resources to support your continued development.

Easy to Fit into a Busy Schedule

The course covered a lot without ever feeling overwhelming or hard to follow. Whenever I had questions, my peer tutor got back to me quickly. I also appreciated getting the two add ons, Teaching English Online and Yoga for Early Educators. I would absolutely recommend this course.

A Helpful Course for Teaching IELTS Prep

Having just wrapped up the 30 hour IELTS preparation course with TEFL.ie, I cannot wait to support people back home as they work toward their IELTS exams. The materials are amazing like always, and the guidance is thorough, practical, and full of helpful tips. I am absolutely planning to take more courses from this institute.

A Virtual Course That Felt Engaging

I did the 10 hour TEFL course as one of my first steps toward becoming an English as a Foreign Language teacher. Everyone in the group was so nice, and I genuinely felt welcomed and like I belonged in the class. Michelle taught us and she was so supportive and always ready to help whenever we needed it. I loved picking up practical ways to be a stronger teacher, especially how to keep language simple for students by using miming and pictures. I also got to do a PowerPoint presentation for the class using images and the methods Michelle showed us, and it honestly made me feel proud to step into the teacher role for those few minutes. I would definitely say this is a brilliant option for anyone thinking about teaching Business English, or for people who want to travel abroad and teach in different places. There is so much covered in the course, and it really can get you on track to become a teacher in just a few months. Since starting my TEFL journey, I am so glad I decided to go with them. Thank you TEFL and Michelle. I have completed my 180 hr Advanced Diploma now, and I have learned so much along the way. I am delighted I chose TEFL as the college to study with because it has given me real insight into the job I am working toward and how to support my students as they aim to become native English speakers. I still have 2 60 hr modules to finish, and they are fairly short, so I have already begun the Business English one and I am taking in loads of new information from it too. I am enjoying the course so much. TEFL are such a great support for anyone who wants to become a teacher. They are available 24/7, and they even run Zoom classes to help students find work if they are moving abroad to teach. Thank you so much TEFL!

A Well-Laid-Out TEFL Course

I found the course really interesting and it held my attention throughout, but I did come across a few odd things that I plan to bring up with TEFL, so I have taken off a star!!! Honestly though, it is amazing just how ridiculously complicated English actually is!!!

A Great Boost from the Virtual Course

I have just completed the 10 hour Virtual Training Course, taught and led by Michelle Benson. She came across as approachable, supportive, and full of useful information. The sessions gave us a great chance to have a go at both learning how to deliver an online lesson and actually presenting one ourselves. It was definitely challenging at times, but it was really motivating to watch the imagination and ideas the other students brought to it. Michelle Benson offered constructive feedback throughout, and because of that we finished the course feeling far more confident than we did at the beginning. I cannot wait to put what I have learned into practice.

Sophie MurrayApril 2026

A Course That Worked Around Real Life

I completed the 120 TEFL course and got a lot out of it. It is put together really well for anyone trying to fit studying around a hectic schedule. Everything in the modules is straightforward and simple to follow. This institute offers excellent opportunities to learn and I would definitely recommend that others check it out.

Support That Made Everything Easier

Rachel Walsh has been fantastic while helping me through the 300 hour TEFL diploma. Every time I had a question, she got back to me quickly and handled everything with real professionalism, which made finishing the course much smoother. Thanks so much for all your support, Rachel.

Katie HayesApril 2026

Online Sessions That Felt Practical

Not long ago I did the "10 Hour Virtual Teaching Practice" with Michelle Benson from the TEFL Tutor team. Over the two days, her upbeat attitude and enthusiasm were incredible and it made a huge difference. There were nine of us on the course and we began as complete strangers, yet by the time it finished it honestly felt like we had all known each other since our college days. I had such a great time, and on top of that we all got really worthwhile teaching practice as well. I would absolutely suggest it to anyone who is thinking about it. Big thanks to Michelle and co. for being so lovely. Tadhg Middleton.

Frustrated by the Extra Certificate Fee

I have just finished the 120 hour advanced TEFL course, plus the 30 hour Online Teaching bonus course that came with my enrollment. Both courses were packed with really valuable content and resource links, and I learned a lot that gave me a much better feel for the TEFL world. The staff are also really friendly and supportive. Any time you call looking for extra information or a bit of advice, they are happy to take the time and help. I genuinely cannot recommend TEFL.ie enough!

Eoin RyanApril 2026

A Fun and Useful Virtual TEFL Course

I have just finished the 120 hour online course and I honestly could not be happier with it. What I loved most was being able to work through everything in my own time, which suited me perfectly. Support is available 24/7 if you need it, but the whole course was so straightforward to access and the content was so clear that nothing ever came up where I had to ask for help, which was absolutely brilliant.

Cian ObrienApril 2026

Easy to Follow from Start to Finish

The 30 hour Teaching English Online Qualification is fantastic! Everything was laid out in a way that was really easy to follow, and the content is going to be so useful for me as an online English teacher. I got all the information I needed to become an online English teacher, and I also picked up plenty of tips and tricks on how to be a successful agent. There is so much packed into this course that I honestly feel ready to teach English to a student now, whether they are a child or an adult. Overall, I would definitely recommend the 30 hour Teaching English Online Qualification to everyone! I cannot wait to start teaching!

Rachel ObrienApril 2026

Clear Lessons That Made TEFL Easier

I recently finished the 120 hour Advanced TEFL Qualification. Working my way through the modules was straightforward, and everything was laid out in a way that made it simple to follow. Beyond covering the key basics of teaching English, it also included really strong example activities, mainly focused on group tasks and participation, that I can keep coming back to as I move forward in my teaching career.

Niamh ByrneApril 2026

A Helpful Course for Teaching IELTS Prep

I have just finished my 120 hour TEFL course and I enjoyed it so much. The website is super straightforward to navigate, and it took me about 3 weeks to get through everything. I have now signed up for the 30 hour IELTS Preparation Course and I am really enjoying that too. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who is looking to teach abroad!

Emily NolanApril 2026

Fresh Ideas for Teaching Young Learners

I would absolutely suggest doing your online TEFL course through TEFL.ie. So far I have finished the 120hr course as well as the 30hr Teacher Young Learners course. I picked up the 240hr TEFL course in a sale, and they seem to run offers pretty regularly, so it is worth keeping an eye out for the one you are after. The website is really straightforward to use. There is loads of support both online and on the site, and if you are totally stuck, you can always ring or text them. I am really looking forward to finally using my certs.

Useful Tools for Real Teaching

I just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course with Michelle Benson, and she was brilliant. Michelle created such an easy, welcoming atmosphere that everyone felt at ease from the start. Because of this course, I now feel confident going into the teaching practice part and delivering it successfully. Everything about it was upbeat and interactive, both with the tutor and the rest of the group. I would definitely recommend it. I enjoyed every minute and came away with so much useful knowledge. Thank you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Live Online Course That Really Helped

I have just finished the 120 hour TEFL certificate and I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was interesting and kept me engaged from start to finish. The way the course was set up made it simple to follow and it was all clearly explained. Being able to move through it in my own time, with no pressure, was something I appreciated. The staff were consistently professional and helpful, and the cost was very reasonable too. In the end it was exactly what I was looking for, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to teach English as a second language.

Grace LynchApril 2026

Clear Lessons That Made TEFL Easier

I really enjoyed taking the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course. One of the best parts was meeting people from all over the world and being able to go through such an exciting experience together. I also feel lucky that I had such a great teacher who always made time to break things down for us and still share a laugh along the way. Kate was an amazing online teacher. I usually have not liked online learning much, but this experience was truly unforgettable. The material was also very simple to follow, which made studying feel enjoyable. Overall, this course is so enriching and I would recommend it to all teachers, not only those on the TEFL journey.

Emma MccarthyApril 2026

A Great Boost from the Virtual Course

My TEFL experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Right after I bought the course, someone from the office rang me to check I was all set before getting started, answer any questions, and let me know what support and services were there if I needed a hand. The course was laid out really well and simple to work through. It has genuinely made me eager to take more courses in the future and kick off my English teaching journey. Highly recommend.

Sarah WalshApril 2026

A Great Experience So Far

At first I had no idea which course to choose, but the team at The TEFL Institute of Ireland got back to me so quickly and were genuinely helpful, answering my questions and giving me everything I needed to decide. I ended up enrolling on the 240 Hour Professional Course and so far it has been a really great experience. Being able to work through it at my own speed suits me so well, and the content is laid out in a way that is clear and easy to understand, which makes studying online feel so much more manageable. I have also been really impressed by the extra support they put out through tefl.ie and on social media, with resources, guides and practical tips about teaching in different countries and even getting ready for interviews. They really cover every angle. Excited to keep going with my TEFL journey :)
