The 120 hours course with The TEFL Institute of Ireland
The 120 hours course was very good. Each module had a learning session and then a test session which I liked as it kept me on top of the learning. I was very happy with the recommended links to the online resources and the reference materials in module 10 as this will allow me to start preparing the lesson plans.

180 hour diploma!
I just completed my 180 Level 5 TEFL Diploma course and all I can say is it has been wonderful. Helpful team of assessors to guide you along the way, there's a discord which you can use to chat with other students so there's also an amazing sense of community. I especially enjoyed the free check-in zoom calls every Tuesday, any questions I had were always answered with ease and support. The course itself is definitely more hefty than I expected, so it took me the whole 6 months to complete, but each student is different so I would suggest just taking your time with it, don't rush, make sure to thoroughly check your assessments before you submit them and you'll be grand. So excited to be able to use my diploma now in my future shenanigans! Thank you to the TEFL team so much :)

Great material in lessons, which easily outline grammar points. Beneficial quizzes at the end of each lesson to outline key points.

180-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma
I recently completed the Level 5 180 Hour Diploma with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The course itself was well-structured, comprehensive, and challenging in the right ways. It covers everything from grammar and lesson planning to teaching methodologies and classroom management. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and the practical focus, which helped me feel more confident about stepping into a classroom — whether in person or online.
One thing I really appreciated was the integration of self-assessment activities and multiple-choice questions throughout each module. These were a great way to check my understanding as I went along and made the learning process more interactive and engaging.
Another standout aspect of the course was the support from tutors and staff. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, I received prompt and helpful responses. The feedback on assignments was constructive and encouraging, and the platform was easy to navigate.
In short, I highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland to anyone looking to get TEFL certified. Whether you're aiming to travel, teach online, or start a new career path, this course is a fantastic first step.
