I had a very positive experience with…30 Hour Advanced Grammar for English Teachers Course
I had a very positive experience with The TEFL Institute of Ireland. The course content was well structured, clear, and highly relevant to real classroom practice. Concepts such as grammar teaching, timelines, error correction, and lesson planning were explained in a practical and accessible way, making it easy to apply the theory to teaching contexts.The platform was easy to navigate, and the assessments were fair and aligned with the course material. I particularly appreciated the balance between theory and practice, which helped strengthen my confidence as an English language teacher. The course also encouraged reflective teaching and provided a solid foundation for working with different learner levels.
this programme is well designed, supportive, and suitable for both new and experienced teachers looking to develop their professional skills. I would confidently recommend The TEFL Institute of Ireland to anyone pursuing a recognised TEFL qualification.

Hi Adrian, thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the content. Wishing you every success as you continue your TEFL journey.
They only care about the money, not the quality of education or academic integrity
Redundant and basic content. The modules are incredibly repetitive. Even when you take the work seriously and provide professional, high-level responses, they get rejected due to 'suspected AI use' without any evidence. They refused to grant me a meeting to clear things up. They only care about the money, not the quality of education or academic integrity

Hi Mariana,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how frustrated and disappointed you feel. That is never the experience we want for any of our students.
We take academic integrity and course quality very seriously. Our courses are externally accredited and regularly reviewed to ensure they meet international standards. We want to clarify that the use of AI-detection and flagging systems is solely in place to protect academic integrity and the value of the qualification for all students. As an accredited provider, we are required to ensure that submitted work reflects a learner’s own understanding and effort. Please know that our aim is always to support students through their studies, not to penalise them unfairly.
Our academic and support teams will continue to communicate with you via email to help further address your concerns, and we have noted all of your feedback.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback.
