Got Questions?
Get clear answers about TEFL courses, certification, teaching jobs, and everything in between.
What TEFL course should I do?
The best TEFL course depends on your goals, timeline, and where you want to teach. If you want a fast route into teaching, an entry-level TEFL qualification such as a 120-hour course is a strong starting point. If you’re planning to teach abroad long-term, want stronger recognition, or need a qualification that’s more competitive for schools and visa applications, a Level 5 TEFL Diploma is usually the better choice.
If you’re unsure, you can request a free call with our team and we’ll match you with the right option based on your plans and experience.
Which TEFL course is best in Ireland?
The best TEFL course in Ireland is the one that fits your teaching goals and offers genuine recognition. For many learners, the best TEFL course is either a 120-hour TEFL certificate for getting started quickly, or a regulated Level 5 TEFL Diploma for better job prospects and long-term opportunities. At the TEFL Institute of Ireland, our accredited TEFL courses are designed to suit beginners, career changers, and those pursuing international teaching.
If you want help choosing the best TEFL course in Ireland for your profile, book a free call and we’ll guide you.
Are TEFL Institute of Ireland courses accredited?
Yes; we offer accredited TEFL courses and regulated qualifications depending on the course you choose.

What level of English do I need to enrol?
You can take this course as a non-native English speaker, provided your English is at B2 level or higher. Because this is a Level 5 Diploma, you should be comfortable with written assignments, reading academic material, and professional communication.
Do you offer online TEFL courses?
